Police around the US say they're justified to run DNA-generated 3D models of faces through facial recognition tools to help crack cold cases. Everyone but the cops thinks that’s a bad idea.

For facial recognition experts and privacy advocates, the East Bay detective’s request, while dystopian, was also entirely predictable. It emphasizes the ways that, without oversight, law enforcement is able to mix and match technologies in unintended ways, using untested algorithms to single out suspects based on unknowable criteria.

    Getting a psychic to give them a suspect through the shadow realm or something would probably be more accurate.

      What’s fuckin wild is that the Shadow Realm as a concept doesn’t exist in the original Yu-Gi-Oh.

      It was a way to make a kid friendly show from a brutal card game.

      For example, in Yugi Muto and Arkana’s Duel, the loser was to be sent to the Shadow Realm if touched by the “Dark Energy Disc”. In the Japanese version, the disks were simply buzz saw blades that would dismember the loser’s feet, presumably resulting in death from blood loss or shock.
