You would also hope the police officers get some sort of jail time too. Miracle she didn't die. Really negligent.Cretins.
I hope she gets fecking millions in compensation.
I was shocked that he survived.WTF. Thankfully the kid is miraculously OK!

I think there was a post on this somewhere in here, but the badge was a new wrinkle for me.
For me, the use of any new science/technology should come down to:
1. Is the science sound and the controls robust?
2. Is the science being used in a manner that is impartial and will provide a benefit to investigators?
3. Will the use of the science cause harm to people/communities simply by its use, and is that harm offset by the benefits?
Based on a quick read of the review article I posted I would say the answer to #1 is a definite maybe but I don't see how the answers to 2&3 are not negative.
And they charged the teen with assault & evasion.I was reading about this earlier. Puts out this traffic that it’s a car that took off on him earlier in the week. Walks up and just opens the door. Starts firing because ___? They Still charged the kid with assaulting an officer.
And…..it wasn’t the right car in the end anyway.
No, that is not what I said. I said that certain characteristics (eye color, hair color, skin color) can, with relative certainty, be predicated. This information can be used to narrow down a potential suspect pool. The posting of a picture on that Tweet was irresponsible as there is no way that the face depicted was anything other than a generic reconstruction.You think we can reconstruct faces accurately from genetic sequence?

That being said, if you read the review article I posted above you will see that some characteristics (for example blue eyes) have a 90%+ confidence score, while others (blond vs brown hair) are much lower. These factors should be taken into account when deciding if the genetic phenotypic analysis yields credible results, not just guesses.
I'm unsure of just how much it can actually narrow down the potential suspect pool, given that it's just a very informed prediction. In the abstract of the paper you linked earlier, it says that the accuracy for prediction of hair colour was 0.64 - 0.94. Even if it's 94%, you can't really very effectively narrow down the suspect pool based on that. Even with the ones that get to 99%, there's an element of risk there, assuming you get to 99% and not the lower part of the range.
Well, we can’t have people running away while the police are trying to murder them for thinking they’re someone else from some other time, can we now?And they charged the teen with assault & evasion.
Would not surprise me if the NYPD find the other car at fault for turning left into their cruiser's lane despite the cruiser driving at a reckless speed without flashing lights. No clue if that's a turn lane the cruiser veers into from the start. Probably getting a handy from hooker or subordinate.
