> Most criminals are dumb
replyYou mean most criminals who get caught?
I think both can be true.
replyBoth can be true but it’s unclear if both are true, and it also depends on what one considers “dumb”
replyIt also depends on what you consider to be “criminal.” I’d wager most shoplifters are dumb. Most supervisors who engage in wage theft aren’t dumb. But that’s not the kind of person who comes to mind when we think “criminal.”
replyThere are two kinds of people in the world. Criminals, and criminals with plausible deniability.
replyNow we're getting somewhere.
replyCops are lazy and dumb as well. They use flock to find people in the area and accuse them of crimes they didn't commit.
replyThey also use flock to find and accuse people who did commit crimes and accuse them of having done so.
replyThey also find and accuse people of crimes they didn’t commit without using Flock.
They also use Flock to skip accusing people who they might have suspected if it weren’t for Flock evidence that exonerates them.
It seems like any meaningful analysis needs to consider the rates of all four combinations of {true|false} {accusations|exonerations}, and compare that matrix to the matrix for the status quo techniques.
The police almost never use any available evidence to exonerate anyone.
replyI've read enough of your comments here to know to disregard your opinion. You just want a surveillance state.
