There is also the issue that closed door arbitration of heinous crimes are the perfect tool to put away dissidents. A very convenient excuse to avoid proper checks and balances. "No, you cannot verify, because you aren't allowed to look at the illegal material that proves their guilt"
- hahajk 5y agoIs this actually true? If I was arrested for an image on my phone, would no one in the judge/jury team be allowed to see the image that was flagged? I understand it’s allegedly contraband, but if I were a judge I don’t think I’d take an algorithm’s word for it.

The prosecution can hire more expert witnesses with excessive credentials than you can, and they will explain how there's a one in one trillion possibility that the system is wrong, and that the defendant is assuredly a monster. Juries eat that up when it comes to bogus DNA, bite mark, fingerprint, or other forensic evidence claims. Most people think computers can't be wrong or biased, and people's perceptions of what can be deemed reasonable doubts or not seem to shift when computers are involved, or when smart, credentialed people tell them their reasonable doubts aren't reasonable at all because of that one in a trillion chance of the computers being wrong.
