A lawsuit is exactly what matters. They learn only the hard way, and no other way. If you want them to not be ridiculous, a lawsuit with large punitive damages is the only practical way to get there.

I disagree. The city or state gets sued and they pay the result from the taxpayer funds and literally nobody learns anything, especially not the hard way. Everyone is so completely divorced, and in some cases immune, from consequences that this will change nothing.

The cities and states make laws to better govern police behavior. You can look back on a century of history of this.

I wish we saw more invocations of speedy trial rights. Trials MUST begin for felony charges in ND within 90 days of a defendant invoking those rights (must be invoked within 14 days of arraignment)[0]. [0] https://ndlegis.gov/cencode/t29c19.pdf

There are a bunch of ways they get people to sign away their right to speedy trials.

When are cops ever treated the same way as the rest of us?

Well in most cases I would prefer to have a cop's word to outweigh a word of an average joe.

Why should having that particular job give you that privilege? All should be equal before the law.

Someone from the government should be in jail for this kind of oversight.

It's not. This is just an acceleration in the unraveling of society facilitated by AI. As someone whose childhood included so many "robots will kill humans" books and movies, I am flabbergasted that the AI apocalypse will be dumb humans overtrusting faulty AI in important matters until everything falls apart. Most humans cannot distinguish AI from actual intelligence. When you combine that with bureaucrats innate ten…

This is literally the plot of most of those books and the way they differ is in how everything falls apart. In some of them the AI supplants us entirely and kills us all. In others it gets taught to kill us all. In others it gets really good at giving us what we ask for until everything falls apart. But it’s taken as a given that unless we change something innate in our culture AI will be our downfall.

I think the taxpayers owe this lady at least a couple million if not more for the inconvenience they chose to put her through.
