The lawsuit faulted Jacksonville Beach Police for hiring and putting O’Connell on a sensitive case despite his own legal history.

“O’Connell is an officer with a documented history of volatility and poor judgment, having previously been terminated from the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office for threatening to ‘blow up’ the agency, later reinstated, then arrested for domestic battery before resigning under the weight of those charges,” the lawsuit said. “Jacksonville Beach PD hired him anyway, assigned him as lead investigator on a sensitive child-luring case, and later promoted him to corporal after his investigation resulted in the wrongful arrest and prosecution of an innocent man.”

So, a shit cop who has no business having a badge and a gun does a shit job. Who'd have figured? In my opinion, all settlements of claims against improper policing should come from police retirement funds, not public funds. Put the liability on those capable of making the changes necessary to correct the situation.

Well hell, I look 93% identical to Frank Zappa.

If that's all it takes to be somebody else, I might be movin' to Montana soon...

This should be the response in every incidence of false arrest (a lawsuit), especially when involving these dystopian Big Brother surveillance systems.

If the cops are unhappy I will make them an “AI” that only spits out 100% matches.

It may never spit out any results though. Or maybe it’ll always say 100

Good luck to him

Aren't all humans 99.9% similar already?

If 93% is enough you could just take any ape at that point.

I think this cop can only be condemned if it can be proven that he was knowingly doing something illegal ?

So essentially, he will just say he trusted the recognition software to be accurate and that he isn't liable for that.

As long as that kind of immunity is there it's incredibly difficult to sanction cops for stuff like that.
