Some Hope For Better Justice

Your son won't navigate for me.
Traveling alone, maps aren't useful.
(Can't read'm while driving.)

Now, stop debating in this discussion only forum.
You've had your run.

I am simply stating my preference for maps. I find I can use a map when I'm on my own quite well, just by studying it for a few minutes before I set off. Sometimes I need to stop and check, but rarely. Chacun à son goût.

Just curious. Why do you think the current system is “dumb as dirt?”

A complete answer to your question would be lengthy. However, for starters, the goals of the system are flawed.

-- The goal of all decision-making systems should be to make the correct decision as consistently as humanly possible.

-- The primary goal of a criminal justice system should be to protect innocent citizens from serious harm.

The USA's criminal justice system isn't designed to accomplish either goal. Its goal is based on the Blackstone Ratio.

In criminal law, Blackstone's ratio (also known as the Blackstone's formulation) is the idea that: It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer. While the idea of convicting the innocent is revolting, avoiding it should not be the primary goal.

In the news....
Robot judges that determine guilt or innocence will be 'commonplace in 50 years'
Excerpted.....
Robot judges that can determine guilt or innocence will be commonplace in the English legal system within 50 years, experts have claimed.

Scientists say the the bots will be able to conclude whether someone is guilty or innocent with a 99% accuracy rate by analysing body language.

One believes the physical and psychological signs of dishonesty will be identified using an array of cameras.

Signs that signal “wrongdoing or probable falsehoods” could include irregular speech patters, an increase in body temperature and hand and eye movements.

AI judges in Estonia are being considered to clear court backlogs by adjudicating in small claims of up to £7,000.

Two opposing parties will upload documents to support their claims and AI tech will analyse these submissions and issue a decision.

If either party is dissatisfied with the outcome, they can appeal the decision to a human judge.

All I'm going to say is colored people watch out. Remember they use COMPAS.

As though coloreds are doing so well with human judges.


Weird...whoodah thought that the once despised

Guess it depends on who you ask.
