'they' have created a wikipedia page for Katie Bouman

its only a few days old

doesn't even have an accurate date of birth on it

It also says it wasn't her algorithm that was used in the end, but I can't find any evidence that it's true

Why are people so dense when it comes to a basic understanding of math...

I want to beat my head on my desk

Have to love that fake narrative "94-98% of rape allegations are legitimate"

And when you bring up that that's not true they say "well, murder has very few false accusations" and wow. They don't get that you basically need a body to prove a murder. Lol

i really don't get the number of false rape accusations. i mean, the judicial system has always been on a "innocent until proven guilty" basis, yet there seem to be a lot of men that go to prison without having done anything. wtf how can you have proof of something that didn't happen

do you mean people that are held for long periods or people that are convicted falsely

most violent offenses (which rape is considered) are held in prison until they go through court

i was talking about wrongful convictions, but the power to send a man to prison until the court date by just going to the police is also a bit much imo

its meant to be for public safety

yeah, i get that, but there should be some verifications don't you think?

there should, its a perfect example of abusing an unfair system

exactly

plus if a man accuses a woman of rape i really doubt she would be getting into hold immediately

TGIF

time to get a drink

I don't really have a problem with people being held in custody when charged with violent crimes. I just want that standard to be applied equally, and if it can be proven without doubt that the accuser made it up, they should face harsh punishment for depriving that person of their liberty

@InsaneCaterpilla could always open up a civil suit

imprisoning someone isn't going to help, lost money might

People can rely on others for their lifestyle. They can't do that in prison

yeah, but the taxpayers man

I'm a supporter of a good prison system, and personally don't mind that my taxes go toward keeping prisoners alive and reforming them to be positive contributors to society.

what happens if that person will never be a contributor to society or a net drain?

Then that is a failing of society, not just the individual

perhaps

do you believe in capital punishment?

No

but life sentence is fine?

Being in prison the rest of your life, to me, is worse than death, but I feel its's acceptable because a society shouldn't murder its own members unless it can help it. The death penalty can be abused and the innocent cannot reclaim their lives.

In the above I'm assuming you mean a life sentence means life, as the majority of the time it doesn't.

yeah, because the thing is

I support capital punishment but in certain cases only

the reason why people don't support capital punishment is because of the way its handed out

i don't support it because the judge and jury are people and they make mistakes

There are all kinds of things that can be done to reform criminals into useful, positive people, and although I am not removing blame from people for the actions they choose to commit, to a certain extent society has produced this person

I have trust in my country's judicial system
