The case was dismissed on Christmas Eve, but the damage had already been done; she had no money, no coat, and no way home, and subsequently lost her house, her car, and her dog.

The AI fucking up is noteworthy, but the real story is right here.

Of course the cops keep using it - payments from the inevitable lawsuits don’t come out of their pockets, so why give a shit when there are quotas to make? No accountability breeds irresponsibility.

I thought filing egregiously inaccurate documents with the court was risking contempt of court (in the best of cases).

Ignoring the court itself, I’d think for a prosecutor or cop this would lead to pretty bad performance reviews.

But if the system has no standards…

Not surprising from people who think lie detectors are real.

The North Dakota and Tennesee officers involved in this need to be arrested, and convicted, for kidnapping, abuse of authority, elder abuse, and whatever fucking other charge they can be trumped up on.
