A Tennessee grandmother who spent six months in jail after facial recognition tech falsely linked her to a North Dakota bank fraud investigation now wants compensation for what happened. Angela Lipps is suing the City of Fargo and a Fargo Police Department detective for $10 million over the incident, which led to the loss of her home, car, and dog.
In July 2025, a team of US Marshals arrested 50-year-old Lipps in Tennessee at gunpoint while she was babysitting four young children. She was booked into the county jail in Tennessee as a fugitive from justice wanted in North Dakota.
I mean, maybe they should try harder then. It’s part of their job.
Frankly, maybe we would have less bull shit if punishment for fucking was more than “oh geeze, that was a mistake and you said sorry so it’s good.”
Also legalese weasel word bull shit that basically makes providers of services and software etc never liable need to be outlawed.
