I get the impression that the cops are about to hate facial recognition all of the sudden, for no particular reason
There’s a reason ICE conceal their faces.
They know what they’re doing is wrong and don’t want to be held accountable if their fascist rule collapses.
Upvoted and agreed, not least because I just learned that “all of the sudden,” while at present a nonstandard variant of “all of a sudden,” has valid history.
And of course it doesn’t matter in this casual context!
But in formal writing, in this era, using “a” will avoid distracting the reader from your main point.
“All of the sudden” is only valid because it’s so commonly (incorrectly) used. Much as it annoys me, that’s just how language works.
“of the sudden” (1570) actually predates “of a sudden” (Shakespeare) according to my OED as squinted at through the nifty magnifying glass. But it’s been considered obsolete for a long time despite having all of a sudden experienced a resurgence.
(Note, I modernized the spellings of “sudden” rather than try to switch focus back and forth)
People aren’t saying it because they’re language scholars, it’s because they misheard the proper modern usage. So it goes for many language shifts.
Only if you allow the ignorant to remain uncorrected.
Erin: “All of the sudden, I was awake.”
Non-Anglo here.
Totally not distracted bcs my brain autocorrected it to “all of a sudden” without even noticing.
A bit like “It deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are”
Also never seen/heard the “the” variant. (Well consciously that is).Does not have to be Before Christ.
If only CSI enhancing worked in real life, we could out the asshole on the far left.
far left
From his PoV, he’s actually standing on the far-right. Fitting lol
Lmao let’s see how long it takes them to shut this down
nice.
Is there one for ice too?
Also what about cops outside of the LAPD? This app only useful if it works on any cop.
What are they so afraid of? They’re public servants, so they should be publicly identifiable. If they don’t like it, get off the government payroll
Because criminals get out of jail and can go after their families. We had someone leave a bomb on the doorstep of a judge in our neighborhood.
Such a shame. Anyway, I guess we’ll have to live with the consequences of technology.
Putting it out there for someone to do this for cops in the UK. I can’t run infrastructure but the cops terrorise out local community and constantly refuse to identify themselves/turn off their badge cam.
Good. ACAB.
legends
Breaking news!
First animal facial recognition tool invented!
Soon you’ll be able to prove another rancher stole some of your cattle,chickens,etc…
For now only works for pigs.👏
Is there ski mask recognition software that will work on ICE?
Highly illegal in Europe, obvs. Looking forward to finding out how this will go in the US.
Sounds like fascism to me.
These guys still really like their tonfas, don’t they?
