- dv_dt 3y agoPlace of residence is low usefulness in proving innocence as people can travel. In wide enough use, there will be false positives including any proximity filter. The question is, is the system unbiased enough to protect innocents? There is a reason that every suspected crime photo isn't broadcast wide 24-7, even with human recognition, the false alarms would cause a massive churn and misguided justice.

Even after RM became aware of the bug they continued to prosecute these franchise owners in civil and criminal court, and the courts believed RM as a big institution. Many owners were financially ruined with several suicides before they were vindicated) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal
