Big “if you’re innocent, you’ve got nothing to hide” energy. I can be innocent and still not want unnecessary interaction with police and appreciate my privacy
And a certain percentage of innocent people are found guilty. You don’t see how expanding the arrests of innocent people is a bad thing? It has the potential to ruin lives
Wait until you grow up a bit and learn about probable cause, or people getting pulled over for nothing. This tech changes nothing about your idea of “innocent until proven guilty” vs what actually happens on the daily.
It’s not the point. You guys are discussing pipe dreams and impossible scenarios. I’m just trying to be pragmatic about what’s happening.
Did you miss the part in the article about this tech being run by private companies? Or how it’s so seamless it can be installed on ANY existing camera system? No upgrades to hardware required.
This surveillance genie is already out of the bottle so just hoping it will go away or be made suddenly illegal in a country that has had a hard-on for surveillance on its own people since at least 9/11 is foolish.
So the best we can do is hope for proper laws regulating and controlling it, so it doesn’t turn into all of those evil things everyone always wants to jump to first.
Because ACAB, but recognize that police work is also one of the areas that could really benefit from AI technology, they are constantly flooded with information from all sorts of sources and it leads to ridiculous backlogs that actually affect society.
So yeah, this tech, like all tech, has the potential to do great harm to society if not reigned in, but it also has the potential to help find your child after they’ve been abducted, or locate your wife or mom after someone has attacked them.
It could do legitimate good in society, too, if used correctly.

Worry, what…that you’ll get pulled over for suspicions while being innocent, and then the cops would be forced to find out you’re innocent?
Yeah I can see that being inconvenient to downright dangerous depending on the cop, personally I think it has the potential to do more good than bad.
It’s just a shame the police have such a hard on for drugs when there’s so much worse stuff going on out there.

What about innocent until proven guilty?
Sir, we have proof you look like a drug dealer, you have to prove you are not one

I think that’s exactly the point. The current situation is already bad, tools that reinforce the bad part of the system shouldn’t be accepted.
