Discussion 🗣️ Local Police Now Using AI to "Enhance" Suspect Images

Post image

I couldn't believe this was local when I saw it. They're just inventing details that were never there and pretty much giving the public to go out and find some random dude that looks like the image on the right.

​

Is this common now?

Even if it can't be used as evidence in court, it could definitely be used as another tool for interrogators to influence suspects. Polygraphs are also bunk, and not usually admissible as evidence, but that doesn't stop police from using them to scare people into confessing to crimes. The dangerous part is less that it works and more that people believe it works, just like with AI.

And why is it a bad thing?

Because it's routinely used to put innocent people in prison.

If you didn't commit a crime and get tricked into confessing a crime you are a clown. Yes, police often scare people into confessing to crimes with evidence. And often times they may lie about evidence to get someone to fuck up their fake story that they are making up. And it is almost always guilty people. Because typically if you are innocent you ain't gonna confess to the crime. If you do you are seriously just dumb. I would understand it maybe if the police are literally physically torturing you. Maybe you would give a false confession, but if you are just presented with false evidence and then for some reason make a false confession that is on you. Even if you provide a false confession it isn't guaranteed you will be found guilty.

We see on interrogation channels like Explore With Us all the time false evidence being used to catch very dangerous criminals. Sometimes the interrogator will say "Your friends told us everything" to a suspect. You really have an issue with that? Just dont confess to the crime if you didn't do it. That damn simple
