But Lipps said Fargo police did not pay for her trip home, leaving her stranded. Local defense attorneys helped cover a hotel room and food on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and a local non-profit, the F5 Project, was able to help her return to Tennessee, InForum reported.

She also told WDAY News no one from the Fargo police department had apologized. This is far from the first case of an AI error flagging the wrong suspect. In October, an AI system apparently mistook a Baltimore high school student’s bag of Doritos for a firearm and called local police to tell them the pupil was armed. Taki Allen was sitting with friends outside the Kenwood high school in Baltimore when police officers with guns approached him, made him get on his knees, and handcuffed and searched him – finding nothing. Earlier this year, police arrested a man in the UK for a burglary in a city he had never visited after face-scanning software confused him with another person of south Asian heritage. Authorities had used automated facial recognition software which matched him with footage of a suspect in a £3,000 burglary 100 miles away.

I hope she sues tf out of ND.
