Everyone freaking out has forgotten: Do not talk to the police. Guilt is determined in court and anything you say, drumroll please, can be used against you. You will not talk your way out of getting arrested, shut the fuck up, and sort it out in court. The only person there to help you is your lawyer, the police are not there to help you.

Problem is a theft charge would have ruined her and by the time its taken to court it shows up on a background check for you.
So in this case talking to police chief and stuff did help her.
Damn I use to love these guys videos. Taught me a lot over the years. Shut the fuck up when cops ask questions!
And america used to make fun of china for its surveillance, but I guess if you can't beat them, join them
I didn't make fun of China for being a surveillance state. I was terrified for the citizens for China being a surveillance state. Same with the UK.
The republicans took every shitty thing they said they hated about other countries like Russia, China and even North Korea and made those things goals.
Issue is, critique of those regimes started to be worded "tactically", to make it seem those problems are unique to those systems, or even silenced completely, and at worst just inventing nonexistent problems of theirs. In Hungary, we no longer hear about arrest quotas of the secret police since 2014, the issue of the Hungarian youth under the communist regime of not being able to wear Levi jeans and Adidas shoes are exaggerated to comical degrees, but now we also have urban legends that the Rákosi and Kádár regimes wanting to implement stuff that are out of current day culture war bullshit.

They'll beat 'em too. Shoot 'em, whatever gets them excited
AI is built on a reward system. Its sole reason for existence is to complete its task and get the reward points. It will create false information to do this. One AI that a lawyer "accidentally" used in court actually created its own 4-5 page court cases to use as citations to justify the case it was working on.
AI is a novelty and should NOT be in charge of any decision making or be admissible as evidence in any way.
This is the same reason police dogs shouldn't be used.
Yep. Dogs have been used to manufacture probably cause for decades.
Only once have they ever been scientifically tested, and they failed.. and shockingly, cops refused to participate in any future testings.
As the owner of a German shepherd who just REALLY wants to make friends and play with everyone she meets…it’s depressing how many people see a big cop dog and immediately walk away when she barks.
She wants to chase birds and lick your face to show affection, chasing and hurting people is taught just like racism in humans.
Why is she barking? Correct that behaviour and I bet 80% of people would stop treating you and your dog like a threat. If a dog barks at me, I leave. It tells me the owner hasn't spent the time training them and that the dog doesn't want me there.

I've been bit, my friends have been bit, and I've seen children get bit by dogs that fit the exact same description. I don't trust any fucking dog. Keep it on leash and keep it away from me and my family. Thank you. - cat gang

AI also recently decided a bag of chips that a black kid had was a gun, and summoned a horde of cops on him.
an accident I doubt AI would make with a white kid, because AI gets all sorts of inherit biases from the data its fed.. and whats more biased in law inforcement than how black people are treated vs white people.

She feared the impact a theft charge, though small, would have on her financial career.
Why is this info public, what happened to innocent til proven guilty?
innocent til proven guilty
That only works, inside the court.
Outside, if you come in the view of an officer, you are guilty.
I have had to do something similar recently, because some chap with "senior citizen" status randomly blamed me for something.
Every single day of my life I am grateful that my parents didn't go through with their plan of moving to the USA when I was little.
Because police actions are a matter of public record. It's why small town newspapers will print all the mugshots for the week.
no matter the tools, cops remain as stupid and malicious as ever
Everything about this is so messed up that the incompetent, lazy cop is the least surprising part.
Welcome to the United States of America!
Lies, injustice and the North Korean way!
All hail Dear Leader!

I know she was acting to protect herself, but its too bad we couldn't see this played out in court.
At this point I need a shrine saying "hail to the GDPR" soon.
