The police don’t need a computer to suspect you. They already suspect you.

They need a computer to blame the mistake on.

They used to blame the Drug Dog but this is better.

    Exactly what AI is really here for--a supposedly all-knowing machine to lay the blame upon for every mistake or misstep or even unlawful/illegal action taken by authorities. It's an infinite-plausible-deniability machine.

    "Whoops! Looks like our computer mistook you for a criminal! No worries, we'll eventually let you go after having thoroughly terrorized you and threatened your life. Just be more careful next time..."
