Comment by Death_Equity@lemmy.world on AI-powered weapons scanners used in NYC subway found zero guns in one month test

So it isn’t working and is just more tax dollars wasted on the security theater? Cool.

No, no. We just need to keep using it! It just needs a bigger sample. Surely, we’ll find a weapon, eventually!

It’s the TSA for the subway!

I dunno, does the scanner grope you and steal stuff from your baggage?

If your dildo looks remotely like a gun, it might come after you.

Well now I feel a fool because I bought a gun-shaped dildo so it would draw less attention. I thought this was America!

Happiness is a warm gun?

Well I don’t want it to come before me!

but falsely alerted more than 100 times

oh, it’s working

Gotta get that probable cause to search for weed.

Recreational weed has been legal in NY for years

Not if there is a federal agent. It is legal here in NM but the feds are constantly seizing pot because it is not legal at a federal level.

It’s gonna be fun when it’s legal in all 50 states at the state level, but still illegal federally.

Wait, did I say fun? I meant bullshit. It’s going to be bullshit.

I don’t think federal agents are using these scanners to find people carrying weed

That is up to the state’s attorney general whether to go after drug offense or not

I guess tell that to the federal agents seizing legal cannabis.

Since when does law plays a role in harassment?

When u be that bottom…

Sorry, just replace weed with crack.

Trust me bro it aint raycist… Check these stats 🤡

They wanted a subway gun crime deterrent, they just found it was much easier to build a subway deterrent.

Earlier this year, investors filed a class-action lawsuit, accusing company executives of overstating the devices’ capabilities and claiming that “Evolv does not reliably detect knives or guns.”

It’s fraud. The company knows it’s unreliable and the investors know it’s unreliable, I wonder why NYC is still going to expand the trial run? 🤔

[Mayor] Adams has touted the Massachusetts-based company since taking office in 2022.

To be fair, he’s also a former cop. He’s also under indictment for fraud so take that for what it’s worth

They found a scam to replace stop & frisk.

more tax dollars stolen

All personal income taxation is theft.

TSA… security theater for the low, low price to taxpayer of $11.2 BILLION dollars

Not exactly, no. From other comments, it also have an incredibly high false positive rate, so it’s negative security.
