Incompetence in the justice system is a good reason to keep all trackers on and privacy features off. That gives you enough data to robustly say "look, I couldn't have been in this chat conversation, because here is my data from that day and you'll clearly see I was running a marathon". I personally keep 24x7 audio recordings of my life to try to get ahead of false accusations.

Can you go a little more into the details here?

He has been set free, but his entire life has been destroyed by this "subtle" mistake. Once you have spent time, no employer will touch you with a barge pole. (innocence not withstanding) Do hope he can claim compensation...

> Do hope he can claim compensation... Can any UK lawyer chime in?

This is an error by US (Wisconsin) police misidentifying a man in (Halifax, Nova Scotia) Canada. Why do you want to hear from a UK lawyer?

It sounds like the appeal hasn't actually happened/completed yet anyway, that they're trying to raise public interest/outrage to help the case.

The appeal has been completed and he's been acquitted. Note the past tense in how the CBC wrote this part:

"The Wisconsin police identified Mr. Klayme as the offender using the incorrect username. His conviction rested on the internet username being attributed to him,” the appeal panel wrote.

The Appeal Court decision said no evidence was found linking Klayme to the girl, the Kik conversations, or the intimate images.

In addition to an acquittal entered on the charges, the sentence and ancillary orders against Klayme were vacated.

It has to be satire.

Audio recordings aren't good enough, this is why I keep 24x7 recordings of my life in 8K (4320p) raw YUV 4:4:4 color space video with uncompressed 24-bit audio. The NVME RAID array bills are getting a bit steep, however.

Just a little DIY android app that keeps an audio recorder always going and uploads recordings to cloud storage every 10 mins.

It also attempts to transcribe the recordings and make a full text index, although the word error rate on that bit is rather high!

No, but I do have other reasons for doing it beyond just false accusations.

Thanks, it was:

> "This is not a situation where an acquittal is entered because the Crown has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the essential elements of an offence or an error during the trial made the verdict unsafe," the appeal panel wrote.

That confused me – but I see now it's supposed to connect to the next paragraph (?!) – "it's not that there was procedural error, it's that he was completely innocent all along". (I do think it's written poorly, but I also haven't had a coffee yet..)

Pixels can be faked.

70mm IMAX, as Nolan intended, is the ideal setup.
