Launch HN: SannTek (YC S19) – Breathalyzer for Cannabis
Sounds like it’s well-intentioned, but I’m afraid that given the incentives of all parties involved here, and the complexity of the technology, there will be a lot of false positives.<p>It’s obvious that the police will want a device that produces more convictions, no point in disputing that.<p>I’m wondering if you can elaborate on what incentives your company has to produce accurate devices, against your customer’s unstated preferences. What’s keeping you in check? Are you worried about class action lawsuits from victims of false positives, if it were independently proven that your device is overly sensitive?
