Raven, previously called GeoSpy, lets cops figure out what specific Airbnb or Zillow property a photo was taken in.

An AI company now lets cops take a photo and nearly instantly figure out what specific home it was taken in, using only clues in the photo itself, and is clearly pulling data from sites like Zillow and Airbnb.

The cops would still need a reference photo to compare to though and they aren’t getting into my house for that shit.

That's not what it's for.

The purpose of this is to take your social media post of you standing with a gun and a sign that says 'all cops must die', and then using the background of that photo to identify and locate your house.

That’s a pretty dumb thing to post. The people I usually see posting pics of themselves with guns are righties.
