An Indiana police department has been using Clearview AI for a year
So i&#x27;m in favor of police going back to the basics, good old-fashioned detective work.  The forensics are not what they&#x27;re cracked up to be, there&#x27;s very little verifiability n verification, too easy for the forensics lab to lie through their teeth or contaminate the scene of the crime.  Like when the Duke Lacross players had to hire a very expensive lawyer to do the messy work of proving evidence actually traced back to three <i>other</i> men that same day, that was noted as very difficult forensic work because OF COURSE the DA didn&#x27;t want verification.  Local DA Dan Nifong wanted to tamper w it, anything to pull off the lynching, mostly out of sadism n participating in the culture.  Three equals three, easy to see it was three men&#x27;s evidence left behind in Candice Mangum&#x27;s evidence place, figured it would be a slam dunk requiring only a little bit of finesse.  This lawyer got commended in front of all America by the legal profession, n proved Candice Mangum was pretty much correct it would be a slam dunk.  It was only when these young men scraped together huge money for the hardcore IDEALISTIC civil rights lawyer (unicorn basically) to counter the momentum of the shakedown w perfect lawyering against Nifong&#x27;s zero shame of screwing up on purpose w all the evidence--an uphill battle all the way...in 2006 iirc, like now in 2023 again.
