Iâm not too fussed about the AI, to be honest. Itâll just declare that it has 14,986 suspects who âdefinitelyâ did it, most of whom will just coincidentally turn out to be black.
The odds of them being able to definitively tie a face to a name in a single stroke are pretty remote. The investigation strategy will probably revolve around tracking down where he went and how he got there. If he rode a bus, they will investigate who was on that bus. Same if he took a plane. Or if he hired an Uber, or whatever. Whose credit cards were used to purchase tickets, whose cell phones were tracked in those locations at those times, etc. Wasnât he on a rental bike? They will try to track payment methods for those rental bikes. Etc.
Even with all their manpower and spy technologies and cell phone spoofing towers and dogs and any amount of shiny badges, the cops canât clear a solve rate for murders in the US thatâs any better than 50%. So thereâs a coin-toss chance this guy didnât go out of his way to do anything right and still walks away.
According to an ABC article, he apparently used cash for everything. Clever dude if true
I didnât know you could use cash for rental bikes.
All the ones in Chicago need the app in order to rent them.
Could you do it with a burner phone and load the app from a Visa gift card? Rent and place the city bike around the corner, do the deed, drop the phone (whether on accident or on purpose), take off on the bike.
I really hope this doesnât lead business to not accept cash.
I should use more cash on a daily basis to discourage thisâŚ
