Family held at gunpoint after false report from AI surveillance

[Occam's Banana]

No hardware robots were involved in this incident (unless you count "policy"-citing cops) - just a software robot in the form of "AI surveillance".

A Wisconsin family on vacation in San Diego was pulled over by police in Oceanside, California, after their rental car was mistakenly flagged by the town’s automated stolen car reporting system. They were ordered out of their vehicle at gunpoint and treated as dangerous criminals. As it turns out, the rental car company had neglected to withdraw an older report that the rented vehicle was stolen. The town’s automated camera system notified police of the vehicle’s whereabouts, leading to this interaction.

Dec 5, 2022:

Hertz Global Holdings Inc. said Monday it will pay $168 million to settle hundreds of claims stemming from vehicle-theft reporting, which in some cases led to customers facing wrongful arrests.
...
A lawsuit earlier this year accused Hertz of keeping faulty inventory records that led some to be stopped by police and held at gunpoint for driving rentals incorrectly reported as stolen.

Over a year after that lawsuit was settled and rental car companies still haven't fixed their shit.

So, how does being employed by a multinational make one immune from prosecution for filing a false police report? How does "qualified immunity" now extend to civilian corporate tools?

"Equity"...

What was the color of the people that rented the vehicle?

I would avoid Payless and Hertz just on principle.

Let your friends know as well.

In Commiefornia, such surveillance technology has been resisted (by the left) for decades. They (leftist leaders) are using the crime waves that they enabled to overcome resistance and install the big brother surveillance state.

If Guns are so bad, why do cops always pull them out?

You may remember the video that went viral showing police officers in Aurora, Colorado, holding a black family hostage in a parking lot outside the car. Supposedly the cops thought their car was stolen, based on their (the cops) mistake. The family filed a civil rights lawsuit and just settled[/URRL] for a whopping $1.9 Million Dollars. But, this will continue to happen. Here’s why… [see video posted above - OB]

Here’s [URL="https://thecivilrightslawyer.com/2023/05/02/cops-point-guns-over-their-dumb-mistakes-its-policy/"]my prior post on why it’s an unconstitutional policy for police departments to perform these types of detentions without specific information that is particular to the subjects being detained.

Aurora, CO: A father records from a distance as cops approach his wife, guns drawn. His three year old child, still in the vehicle. This woman thought it was just going to be a regular traffic stop. But she was wrong. Bodycam footage shows the officers discussing the fact that they’re going to perform a so-called high-risk stop, with guns drawn, as per their department policy. This was apparently the result of officers marking the wrong box on a form. The vehicle had been previously repossessed and then reclaimed. But on the form it was marked stolen by mistake.

But that wasn’t the only time. It happened to another family. A woman with her car full of kids was in a parking lot in Aurora, looking for a nail salon, when all of a sudden police descended on her, allegedly because a license plate reader flagged her car as stolen. The family in the car, kids included, were made to exit the vehicle and lay on the ground.

The car was not stolen. Another mistake. What was the mistake this time? The actual stolen vehicle flagged by the plate reader was a motorcycle with the same number – but from a different state. So yet again: innocent people in a non-stolen car; police make the mistake; yet the innocent people get guns pointed at them. Why? They say it’s their policy. Officer safety, of course.
