Are anonymous tips admissible?
Can the police launder AI results through an anonymous tip line?
"Here is a picture of a guy, do you know who he is, please don't use AI (wink wink), but if you call this number apparently we can then use whatever you tell us. Wink wink."
I am clearly not a lawyer but if anonymous tips exist in police work why can't wacky flailing AI guessing machine also exist?
[Another post clarifies it is not wrong to use AI or anonymous tips, it just can't be used to establish probable cause, so the police skipped some important steps]
- advisedwang 2y agoPer the article: "At a Jan. 9 hearing, McMonagle agreed with defense attorneys, saying the AI identification of Tolbert was akin to an anonymous informant, which is not enough to establish probable cause." So no, a tip (which is an informant) is not enough for a warrant.
