Big girls. What wasn't reported about the Aussie taser victim, was he was sporting a Goanna as a weapon.

So I'll bet he describes himself as a dragon-tamer, while he's drinking his piddling little, lady-sized "schooners" of watery beer.
(The trick with talking to Australians is that you know it's going to end up in a punch-up, so you might as well get it over with.)

Just reading through an article on Amazon and mentions the rekognistion tool, and that some "civil right activists claim it could lead to wrongful arrests".
Its a tool. Yes, I understand if someone dumb and just relies on a tool 100%, that is on the human misusing the tool.
A human is still involved in the process.
It probably took a long time for CCTV black/white video recordings and camera to be tolerated. But it always sounds like person recognition tools are far worse.
My basic understanding: At a big stadium you can have police focused on more intensive tasks then tons scanning the crowd.
You still have a few scanning the crowd.
Face detect tool identifies someone of high interest.
Info is directed to nearest officer to approach.
Office now should handle the rest as if they spotted the person them self.
End.
If a wrongful arrest happens, that is the fault of the existing system in place.
If the computer made a lock or release decision, then I would be against it. That is NOT what it is being used for.
"oh, but their are cases where judges use machine-learning tools to make decisions". Again, that is a poor judge mis understanding how the tool should be used - weather that is lack of training or been trained in a missleading way by the sellers of the tool.
Now let me use this to better detect my cat to allow into the house. I still have a 10% fail that the neighbors cat is being allowed in. both tabbies and I think its something to do with the lighting

Have you seen the results of tests of the systems?
They make far too many mistakes -- mistakes which could result in your being locked up in a police cell for a day or two, until these processes that you appear to have so much trust in are completed in your favour.
... That's IF they are completed in your favour; otherwise you could end up being locked up a lot longer.
But I suppose that's OK, as long as it only happens to other people, eh?

No, the person who does not use the brain is making the mistake. Never trust a computer.

We know that, but the people using this software tend not to know that. And when they don't use their brains, they have immunity.

... Is the person who has been swamped with misinformation about how perfect a system is, by the corporations that make the product.
And bear in mind that we're talking about cops, not rocket surgeons.

I've been using that expression for years. Perhaps you noticed it at some point?
Or, a frightening option, indeed: at some level we think alike.

I picked it up in the mid 80s (it was love at first sight), from someone on the alt.english.usage newsgroup, so it was knocking around at for least 20 years before I joined CP.

Well before I started using it. (alt. newgroups - ye gad that's a memory). In real-life I somewhat often will deliberately garble expressions in that manner - oddly, few even notice.
Well, that's how it goes these days, and we find ourselves older but no wiser. One out of two, however, isn't bad.*
* And older is clearly the better choice considering the option.

This is weird. "pearls before swine" - I use that (sadly) all too often.
Here's the weird. Basically we argue and disagree on a considerable number of things, yet, we oddly have developed similar speech-games (when we play with our two-legged toys).
Should you be in the mood, the link in my by-line area, "Ravings en masse" contains any number of saying you might have already thought of and/or are welcome to use.
As a sample:
Quote: It is said "It takes all kinds of people to make a world."
There are some, however, that we can all do better without. - September 25 2018 11:11 AM
Note that some of the earlier contributions are less interesting.
Format: Others' quotes on the left, mine on the right, except the one on the left about equality - that one's mine. Feel free to skip the whole thing

"Pearls before swine" is biblical, and, oh boy, do I know a lot about the Bible! (Several thousand per cent more than most of the rissoles I've encountered who claim moral superiority for being Christian without having a clue what being Christian means).
But I'm ridiculously precise with words, and intentionally phrase things to have multiple meanings, whereas most people can only do that unintentionally. Quotes, sayings, and old saws are grist for that kind of mill.

Well, why did you think I have "wall" in my name?
To keep undesirable, murderous illnesses from spreading from the US to Mexico, obviously.

Same.
The other one I like to use is "cross all the i's and dot all the t's".

I usually say that the other way round, so that the sort-of punchline is at the end.
