I have a face that looks like a lot of other people. I have a name that 500+ men use in the world. I don't do anything bad or criminal, but I could be mistaken for a man who matches my face. Nature creates patterns, and sometimes you get a Mr. Potato Head like me with a common face.

Insane that this took six months. AI facial recognition should be considered about as reliable as a polygraph, which is to say not usable in court at all. Shame we’ve got ICE agents roaming the country also using facial recognition to find their targets, huh?

US legal system still as world leading as ever I see. For all the wrong reasons. Recommended compensation: $1500 per hour.

Fargo Police Department. That tracks. Are we sure the Cohens were not involved?

>(saved by her bank records) Don't worry if unbanked, the commercial app industry is already here to save you. “My Location Ledger” https://apps.apple.com/us/app/my-location-ledger/id675780680... I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t aware that some of the various parties already spying on me do have a one in 1 million chance of coming in handy. To that end, tried this years ago but didn’t work immediately: “OwnTracks” (FOSS) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/owntracks/id692424691 PS: Flock be ready for our location requests in emergencies, only fair
