It is unfortunate, but due to the nature of the crime he was accused of the police likely followed standard protocol as far as where he was housed. Where they failed was likely in ensuring the safety of people under their authority and protection. But for what it is worth, the guy is getting his money. And moving forward, you can pretty much assure that Sunglass Hut is just going to stop trying to play police. They are going to hand the video over to the police and that is it. Odds the manager of the store was angry and embarrassed and wanted to get revenge. And his act of retaliation caused a innocent man to get hurt in the process. And yes, you can pretty much rest assure all the employees of said Sunglass Hut are listed in the suit.
@@pvpat92They were supposed to take his age into account and SEGREGATE him. The same things happens to pedophiles who also separated from the general population. Whole thing is messed up
The fact that a warrant was issued based on facial recognition software used by a private company and no investigation was done by the police or prosecutors office before requesting a warrant is outrageous. What’s more disturbing is that a judge signed the warrant with such flimsy evidence. The jail should be held responsible for what happened to him while in their custody. Edit to add that eyewitness identification is notoriously inaccurate so that should not be sufficient probable cause for a warrant.

The raping culturing in jail needs to be handled. Heard of this 23 year old that was raped to death the day before he was released. Happened a few months ago
Exactly. I had a young boy go to jail and came back a broken being. A year ago. The same dudes committing these SA claim they aren’t gay but love gay activities.
It's like what trial attorney Gerry Spence used to say at the end of his closing arguments: "Money cannot fix what the defendant did to the plaintiff but money is all the defendant has, so give me all they have."
In a lot of sectors, including communications. You now have to pay money and join a "service" to communicate with anyone behind bars, holdover or actual jail, in a lot of states. The "service" usually sucks, and acts as a hinderance to be bonded, or let go, which helps these privately funded "justice systems" bottom line.

@IAMYOU-. The cops let him go after the ailibi checked out. He was assaulted before they could let him go. If Macy's and Sunglasses Hut had not coached their employee to identify the man and actually been thorough and double-checked, he would not have been arrested. Macy's and Sunglasses Hut brought this on themselves. That's why they're being sued instead of the police.
Unfortunately, the charges can most likely be pressed against the perpetrators. This being that the police actually did their protocols and put him in a wing of the most violent offenders based on the nature of the robbery that occurred. I do hope he is able to heal, but the courts will just give immunity for that part and new charges will be added to the offenders records and length of stay, if they haven't been already.
Ummmm No one is raping you in actual jail( Not to be confused with prison). 98% of people in there are usually given out within a few days or a couple of years.

@@ryanmullett8832as the lawyer said, they have a high error rate with black people and apparently age gaps too.

Then you and or your twin would still be suspects.

He is a Senior citizen, the "law" did false imprisonment, put him in harm ways, at his age, the police has the duty and vital responsibility to protect him. They failed miserably!!
The thing is that the police are not responsible for protecting innocent people. They are there to apprehend lawbreakers. That’s why if you get shot somewhere, you can’t sue the police for not protecting you. This is why the right to own a gun is so important.
@@alstroemeria227again4 Except this happened in police custody when the man had no options to protect himself. We have become way too complacent in accepting that rape, beatings, and murder happen in jail and prison just because we don't like the kind of people who are locked up. But the fact is there should be a standard of care for prisoners in law enforcement. And this should include protection from violence and sexual assault. These officers charged with monitoring prisoners need to be held responsible. If the prisons and jails do not hire enough guards hold the entire organization responsible. This culture of rape is acceptable for prisoners needs to end.
Remember the guy in Colorado who was arrested for bank robbery all because the software messed up? These facial recognition systems are broken and should not allow an arrest or warrant to be issued. A human should have to investigate and verify everything way before any of that happens. I mean they will allow someone suspected of murder to be interviewed first before they arrest them, but not an old man who is suspected of robbing a store?
What you described is called "human in the loop", and it's a standard in many industries all over the world. Yet for some reason it's not standard in the US for facial recognition. Also FR is not "broken" as you say. If it was, we'd be heading these stories daily, which we don't. No system is perfect and we're seeing those edge cases. But org policies (like human in the loop) are meant to smooth out those edge cases. Additionally, the things the lawyer says about how FR doesn't work properly is incorrect. I know which study he's referring to (the ACLU's "test" of Amazon's Rekognition software), and the test was a farce. It was conducted in a way to deliberately generate bad results.
@@ceebee GUY WASN'T EVEN IN THE STATE WHEN IT HAPPENED!!! You're right though it's not broken 🙄 . And just because these stories don't show up on your feed doesn't mean it hasn't happened before. I guarantee you will change your mind when it happens to you though
No system or technique should be used for legal purposes until it has passed an independent evaluation for accuracy. Courts or companies should have to justify the use of such things by showing they have a certificate from an approved agency to use it. Test for false positives, false negatives, etc.
But this is a world of people making their quotas and advancing their careers. Performing due diligence gets in the way and has a negative affect on arrest quotas.
Just 10 million? Rape damages alone…is way more than that. I would separately sue the jail for lack of protection for the assault and rape responsibility. There should be no contact among prisoners who are violent offenders…EVER!
I'm not sure where you've been, but robbery is considered a violent offense. Also, jails are only responsible for assaults if there was reason to believe that something would have happened to the alleged victim if placed with other violent offenders. For the record, I don't believe for a second that this man was raped, but he knows that people like you will believe it and he's banking on this as being his lottery moment.
@@HeartsOfDarkness you understand the ruling was for harassment and the suit was conveniently filed shortly after the statute of limitations was up for criminal trial, meaning she couldn’t be charged for falsifying testimony in a criminal trial

@@jimhardy-p3iWell he can probably prove that the Sunglass Hut and Macy’s went to law enforcement that led to a warrant; prove that he was wrongfully arrested; prove he was assaulted and raped; prove he was in California at the time of the robbery. That’s 4 for 4
My buddy was charged with kidnapping and burglary based on faulty eyewitness testimony before he was released from jail after all charged were dropped when they processed fingerprint evidence from the scene 5 months later. He was never the same after 5 months in a violent jail and it changed my entire worldview. The worst part was everyone telling me that if he was in jail for the crime, he must have done it- none of those people changed their way of thinking or apologized or admitted they were wrong once he was released.
I get treated like a criminal by the healthcare system every day and once I went to the ER for a medical issue, not only did the doctors fail me, but the security handcuffed me and threw me out of the hospital just for seeking medical treatment. Also, many doctors threatened to call the cops on me if I asked for comprehensive treatment. 😢😢 They have caused me serious ailments. 😢
The intentional lack of caution and safety by the employee's of HPD and the employee's of the jail where the rape occurred is enough to justify suing. This man deserves more than $10 Million, IMO.
I was thinking the same thing honestly. But to be fair, pain and suffering is generally 3X the medical expenses. And as bad as this is, he isn't going to see $2 million in medical bills. His lawyer set a number he thought both stores would agree to just to keep it out of court. And he probably guest right. But that lawyer's take is probably 30% so $3 million.
The companies aint nothing, being raped in prison should be huge and NEEDS to be the primary investigation... which i why he probably hasn't sued the PD yet.
This could happen to anyone - AI is not reliable and definitely should not be used as a way to imprison people. This is so scary and the way his rights and person were violated is sickening.
Well AI only contributed, there was an eyewitness who ID'd him (though mistakenly). So if you are the investigating detective you would have a choice of either releasing him until you could prove his alibi was false and in so doing possibly releasing a violent criminal back into society (where you might not be able to find him again or he goes out and commits more crimes) or you can detain him in jail for the amount of time it would take to, once again prove out his alibi. Which in this case they did the latter and released him the following morning as soon as the alibi was proven true.
I hope people understand that if you use AI for video upscaling, it ruins the data. I was offering this is a service for a while, and most of the people trying to use it are submitting grainy security camera footage. It’s creating a new image based on estimating what is in the missing space. It can be wrong.
@@jimhardy-p3i If you were the investigating detective, you would actually investigate if the suspect was there or not before making any arrest. They arrested him first, then investigated, then still held him in jail.
If it happened to a woman or child: then yes it matters and should be publicized. However when men suffer its best if the world looks the other way. Remember this and life will get better.
@@DxBlack fox doesn’t truly care about what happens as long as anything happens. They report news not explicitly create news worthy events.

Well they did say that he.was prepped to testify against him. Like why would someone that was present for the likes, need to be prepped by someone that wasn't.
Thomas Haynesworth spent 27 years in prison based upon 5 victim positive identifications. The real attacker was 5'10 compared to Thomas being 5'6. All because 5 white women could not distinguish differences in black people. My whole point being, that eyewitness testimony is very flawed. It is likely that the employees made the same mistake.
At 60 years old, this law abiding citizen had to be subjected to this. He's probably gearing up for retirement in a few years. Now he has this traumatic experience of being wrongly accused, placed in custody, then raped. What the duck is wrong with this world???
At his age, he should have never been in population with violent felons. He would be in his right to sue HPD and the County facility where he was assaulted.

They will not be added because of Qualified Immunity...it was not a false arrest...it was a legit arrest made upon the AI and an eye witness identification. You know nothing about what you are writing about.
It already probably has! When there's an issue the system covers up rather than fixes it, they'll spend millions to hide it rather than admit any fault. Anyone interested in the jaws of blind gov look up LouissRossman and his escapades with getting sued for taxes in NY AFTER he moved to Texas.

@@marudoethiopia I agree, I'll give the developers the benefit of the doubt and say I find it unlikely that they created a AI-driven facial recognition program with the intention of wrongfully imprisoning anyone it deems a match. I'll even go out on a limb and say they probably even tried to warn that facial recognition is not 100% accurate and the program was/is still very experimental (which should be obvious to most people with enough knowledge on the subject). But I think despite this someone pulled rank and gave the ill-advised order to, "Use it anyway" because dammit they don't care about the potential harm it can cause, their superiors want results and they themselves want that promotion, but they'd rather rely on AI do the work for them rather than do any actual police work. Whoever that was, they should face some prison time.
For. Real. Macy's usually has discounts on the brands of clothing I like but I'll gladly pay full retail price elsewhere. Never shopped at Sunglass Hut anyway but won't now.
Don't blame the company, blame the people that work there. If you dig deep enough you won't be able to shop or do business anywhere. Shoe companies use child labor in China, Iphone factories have nets outside the windows so employees don't jump out, depending on where you get your coffee from the farmers get paid next to nothing. All businesses are bad.
No. These cops negligently put this man in a harmful situation. You say we're desensitized. But you have these people who know, if they mess up on any level, they still have a job. They cut corners for a quick conviction.
That's part of the problem. Jails don't work like on TV. No one gets released immediately. Even if someone is bailed out they might still wait days or weeks depending on the jail's processes. Even though this guy was cleared by police, he was released based on the convenience and security processes of the jail. Although at the very least they should have moved him somewhere else while waiting for release rather than being kept in a unit for violent offenders.
The victims should consult his attorney and consider also bringing litigation against the jail in which he was wrongfully incarcerated at which later resulted in him being attacked and sexually assaulted and that is unacceptable they should be held accountable as well
He already has an attorney. Where do you think he came up with the fictitious rape story? Guarantee you there was no mention of rape until AFTER he saw an attorney.
@MsTokra Physical injuries were NOT proven. So, what you're saying makes no sense. In fact, the first the sheriff's office heard about a rape was AFTER he was released and had talked to an attorney.
It won't happen. He probably was not raped in the first case and only made the story up because he was angry that he was arrested. Any civil suits with the private companies will probably be settled out of court for a much smaller amount than what is being asked and he will just walk away with the check.
I wish this man the best, he's been through a lot of trauma in a short amount of time. I hope all those responsible for his misery are held accountable and liable, including the three men who abused him.
Sunglass Hut sucks. My manager claimed I took money on a day that I was off. I had an emergency and my appendix needed to be removed that day. Police came to see me in the hospital while I was recovering and asleep. I awoke to my mom yelling/asking them, “Could you be any more stupid? Does he look like he’s in any condition to be working let alone steal something?” After a week or so I was offered my job back by a higher up (district manager, perhaps?). It was the most satisfying, “Oh heck no!” that I’d ever uttered!
You should have sued the pants off of them! I'm glad you declined the offer to go back because if they abused you like this once, they would definitely do it again! Go work somewhere where you will be seen for being an honest worker, not a thief based on assumptions!

Hence corporations getting sued for millions and sometimes going into bankruptcy. You sound more jealous than anything, talking about homes that potentially could be purchased. This isn’t about you. The victim is seeking 10 million, and it isn’t enough for these companies, agencies to feel their wrongdoing.
I have an acquaintance who was taken to jail once and was forced to stand by as another man was tortured and murdered by other prisoners. The worst part is that nobody even cared that it happened. I knew him before he witnessed that and he is not the same guy anymore. I can only imagine the nightmares you'd have after seeing something like that. Our jails need to do better.
You do go from genuine care and concern, to outright desensitization. I remember my building was in the queue to be called to go to the chow hall, and some guy in one of the pods across from the one I was in, decided that was the perfect time to threaten suicide, by taking a swan dive off the 3rd tier. That put a hold on any movement from our building to go to the chow hall. And the reaction from everyone, was one of frustrated irritation because we were prevented from going to eat dinner. “HURRY UP AND JUMP!!” “WE’RE F’ ING HUNGRY!!”. No concern or compassion for the guy whatsoever.
@@richardtibbetts574 You just stated the entire reason for the system. It is there to proliferate crime and provide a need for the police state we live in.
Yes,Sunglass Hut and Macy’s are at fault,but the main culprit is the company that designed and sold the facial identity software that seems to think that all black people look the same. He should be suing them as well.
I saw a video last year of a white lady who was prevented from entering a store as it identified her as a wanted person - who was black. Like seriously, they've got a long way to go before that can be trusted.
That's correct on one part. The second part is the Jailhouse Warden/Guards that don't 'get paid enough' to do the job they signed up for, as well. NO EXCUSES FOR THOSE IN CHARGE/POWER - hold the jails/prisons accountable for the crimes that happen, under their noses. CHECKS and BALANCES - sometimes , people need to be seen, in person, for them to get the CHECK, in order to be balanced.
they will just investigate themselves and find no wrong doing. like they always do. majority of police departments are full of dirty and corrupted cops
I can’t fathom how this man must be feeling. This is utterly heartbreaking. I hope he can find a way to heal and move forward. No amount of money can take away the pain of this experience and those memories 😢
The technology is flawed and it’s ridiculous to make an arrest solely based on obviously flawed technology that did not work properly. What if he was not out of the state to prove his innocence? An innocent man would be in jail now due to incompetence and flawed technology!!! He should not only sue HPD, Macys, Sunglass Hut but also the facial recognition technology company who’s failed technology got him arrested in the first place! He needs to get a very good attorney.
@@MisterGreis At 1:47 they say that the court documents “suggest“(which is speculation in legal speak) that the store employee was prepped by his employer, not the AI company.
We are all this man who was wrongly accused using software. Could happen to anyone. That poor man has a mug shot now I hope the judge vacates that arrest warrant too.
Whoever prepped the store employee and the employee both should be sentenced to life in prison for their part. The employee should be charged with falsifying evidence and filing a false report. The store employees lawyers who filed the report with the police with the false claim should also be charged. Texas should create a law that if your actions leads a person to someone being harmed as this person was you also get charged as a co-conspirator or accessory to the crime.
Exactly. If the software company prepped the employee it was no doubt because they want to sell their product to more stores. It’s disgusting and sickening on so many levels. That poor man. He will never get over this but I hope he can get proper therapy and have a new life that’s better than before.
Do you know how stupid you sound? Nobody prepped him to make a eye witness identification of grandpa. The detective would have brought a lineup book with similar looking suspects and he would have pointed to the photo of grandpa. There was no falsified evidence and no filing of a false report. The report that was filed simply contained information that was obtained during the investigation which provided the probable cause for the charges. Also, you need to look up and read about the concept of Qualified Immunity. If you're able to read.
Using A.I. recognition isn't a camera🤦🏽 and they thought it was absolute, that's completely horrific and an innocent man is raped from their incompetence.
I hope this man gets swift justice. I can't imagine how horrifying everything must have been. I can't believe they made an arrest based off software that has been proven to be faulty in the past.
What’s scary is nowadays the machines are in control already. I’ve even been robbed by an ATM machine owned by ING bank in the Netherlands and the machine claimed there was no error or problem! Even with video cameras pointed on me the bank refused to verify the footage proving the machine made an error. It’s terrifying times we live in, just like the film Idiocracy where the Carl’s Jr. machine takes the lady’s money and defames her. Same thing is happening nowadays. Machines can now steal our money, our likeness, our voice, our identity… and this is just the beginning. Protect yourself however possible and film things as much as possible.

It didn't happened to him. He's lying to increase his chances of getting paid for the mistake that was made. How does he know that will work? Look at your comment and 99% of the other comments. You people believe that nonsense, no questions asked. Why wasn't the county or sheriff's office mentioned as well for the suit, because it's a 100% certainty that he didn't say ANYTHING to the sheriff's office, and rape wasn't thought up until AFTER he was released on the mistake and he's trying to maximize his pay day. He should have said sued for 100 million, they would have quickly settled for 10 million. Now they'll probable settle for 1 million or less.
No way I'd let them get away scot-free. Did the police even think? OK this man is a senior citizen but he's committing armed robber on a Sunglass Hut? Did that make sense to them?
Why do you think they make you renew? The government is keeping tabs on you. Wont be bothered to see who’s illegally entering our nation but they will make sure they know exactly where you are.
This is the problem with the way we operate jails in America. Once they take control of your person, the state is responsible for your safety, but jails are not properly equipped to allow them to do that. There doesn't appear to be any separation of people arrested but not convicted of any crime from other types of prisoners. There certainly isn't any sanitization...just being arrested begins the punishment process in America and that's before you can receive a trial!
The police should be sued for wrongful arrest and for him being raped in prison. Where were the guards how is it that people can get away with hurting other people in jail. It’s not as if they have the freedom to just wonder around for hours at a time. It’s funny how there always watched but when it comes to someone being assaulted there is never a guard around to see what’s going on.

He really should sue the police and the county as well. They are at fault for putting him with violent offenders.
That's why we need to end qualified immunity.
He was arrested for a violent robbery.
YES
It is unfortunate, but due to the nature of the crime he was accused of the police likely followed standard protocol as far as where he was housed. Where they failed was likely in ensuring the safety of people under their authority and protection.

The fact that a warrant was issued based on facial recognition software used by a private company and no investigation was done by the police or prosecutors office before requesting a warrant is outrageous. What’s more disturbing is that a judge signed the warrant with such flimsy evidence. The jail should be held responsible for what happened to him while in their custody. Edit to add that eyewitness identification is notoriously inaccurate so that should not be sufficient probable cause for a warrant.

Sue the police also for not keeping a prisoner safe.

This being that the police actually did their protocols and put him in a wing of the most violent offenders based on the nature of the robbery that occurred.

Remember the guy in Colorado who was arrested for bank robbery all because the software messed up? These facial recognition systems are broken and should not allow an arrest or warrant to be issued. A human should have to investigate and verify everything way before any of that happens. I mean they will allow someone suspected of murder to be interviewed first before they arrest them, but not an old man who is suspected of robbing a store?
What you described is called "human in the loop", and it's a standard in many industries all over the world. Yet for some reason it's not standard in the US for facial recognition.
Also FR is not "broken" as you say. If it was, we'd be heading these stories daily, which we don't. No system is perfect and we're seeing those edge cases. But org policies (like human in the loop) are meant to smooth out those edge cases.
Additionally, the things the lawyer says about how FR doesn't work properly is incorrect. I know which study he's referring to (the ACLU's "test" of Amazon's Rekognition software), and the test was a farce. It was conducted in a way to deliberately generate bad results.
@@ceebee GUY WASN'T EVEN IN THE STATE WHEN IT HAPPENED!!! You're right though it's not broken 🙄 . And just because these stories don't show up on your feed doesn't mean it hasn't happened before. I guarantee you will change your mind when it happens to you though
No system or technique should be used for legal purposes until it has passed an independent evaluation for accuracy. Courts or companies should have to justify the use of such things by showing they have a certificate from an approved agency to use it. Test for false positives, false negatives, etc.
@@ceebee FR is definitely broken if it caused an innocent victim harm
But this is a world of people making their quotas and advancing their careers. Performing due diligence gets in the way and has a negative affect on arrest quotas.
Just 10 million? Rape damages alone…is way more than that. I would separately sue the jail for lack of protection for the assault and rape responsibility. There should be no contact among prisoners who are violent offenders…EVER!
You have the number for what rape costs? What’s the value of rape?
I'm not sure where you've been, but robbery is considered a violent offense. Also, jails are only responsible for assaults if there was reason to believe that something would have happened to the alleged victim if placed with other violent offenders. For the record, I don't believe for a second that this man was raped, but he knows that people like you will believe it and he's banking on this as being his lottery moment.

Well AI only contributed, there was an eyewitness who ID'd him (though mistakenly). So if you are the investigating detective you would have a choice of either releasing him until you could prove his alibi was false and in so doing possibly releasing a violent criminal back into society (where you might not be able to find him again or he goes out and commits more crimes) or you can detain him in jail for the amount of time it would take to, once again prove out his alibi.

I just added 2 businesses to my never patronize list. There is so much wrong with this interaction.
For. Real. Macy's usually has discounts on the brands of clothing I like but I'll gladly pay full retail price elsewhere. Never shopped at Sunglass Hut anyway but won't now.
Use-tor-to-research-handheld-emp weapons. 😇
Never heard of that sunglasses place. And I thought Macys was just a store people walk through to enter the mall 😂
Im never shopping at Macys again, ever.
Since when are computer programs allowed to issue warrants for people?
Don't blame the company, blame the people that work there. If you dig deep enough you won't be able to shop or do business anywhere. Shoe companies use child labor in China, Iphone factories have nets outside the windows so employees don't jump out, depending on where you get your coffee from the farmers get paid next to nothing. All businesses are bad.
We are so desensitized to the notion that cops willfully place people in harms way
they are the biggest criminals
Well-said
🤡
@@LuisRivas-z4u 🤡
No. These cops negligently put this man in a harmful situation. You say we're desensitized. But you have these people who know, if they mess up on any level, they still have a job. They cut corners for a quick conviction.
Oh dear. After his alibi checked out, he should have been released that same moment unbelievable
He was.
@@jimhardy-p3i after being raped...
That's part of the problem. Jails don't work like on TV. No one gets released immediately. Even if someone is bailed out they might still wait days or weeks depending on the jail's processes. Even though this guy was cleared by police, he was released based on the convenience and security processes of the jail. Although at the very least they should have moved him somewhere else while waiting for release rather than being kept in a unit for violent offenders.
@@jimhardy-p3iNo he wasn't. He was put in there *after* they already knew he was proven innocent.
@@rifter0x0000gotta he a judge who orders it.
That's terrible! God, please let this man receive true justice.
The victims should consult his attorney and consider also bringing litigation against the jail in which he was wrongfully incarcerated at which later resulted in him being attacked and sexually assaulted and that is unacceptable they should be held accountable as well
Or he’s working with them and sinking to the guy by saying you can win plenty of money from the companies
@@jlopez1632🤡
He already has an attorney. Where do you think he came up with the fictitious rape story? Guarantee you there was no mention of rape until AFTER he saw an attorney.
@MsTokra Physical injuries were NOT proven. So, what you're saying makes no sense. In fact, the first the sheriff's office heard about a rape was AFTER he was released and had talked to an attorney.
It won't happen. He probably was not raped in the first case and only made the story up because he was angry that he was arrested. Any civil suits with the private companies will probably be settled out of court for a much smaller amount than what is being asked and he will just walk away with the check.
I wish this man the best, he's been through a lot of trauma in a short amount of time. I hope all those responsible for his misery are held accountable and liable, including the three men who abused him.
Sunglass Hut sucks. My manager claimed I took money on a day that I was off. I had an emergency and my appendix needed to be removed that day. Police came to see me in the hospital while I was recovering and asleep. I awoke to my mom yelling/asking them, “Could you be any more stupid? Does he look like he’s in any condition to be working let alone steal something?” After a week or so I was offered my job back by a higher up (district manager, perhaps?). It was the most satisfying, “Oh heck no!” that I’d ever uttered!
Please tell me you sued those f,;:"'z?
Should have sued them
Dude you should have gotten a lawyer and sued for wrongful termination regardless of if it's a right to work state.
I quit that company after 2 shifts
You should have sued the pants off of them! I'm glad you declined the offer to go back because if they abused you like this once, they would definitely do it again! Go work somewhere where you will be seen for being an honest worker, not a thief based on assumptions!
Solitary Confinement should be required whilst awaiting release.
10 million is nowhere near enough.
This man needs $500,000,000. Those companies, and police department, and county, need to feel that loss.
More like way too much. The wrongful arrest was bad, but the perpetrators who followed him to bathroom are the ones really ought to pay. As for the wrongful arrest, I would demand the faulty system be ousted instead of money.
@@fdwrForbid you end up in this same situation and see if you’d feel the same. Everyone from Law Enforcement to the store down to these funky inmates are at fault. But it started with the store. 10 million isn’t high enough.
@@ms.lalady I would feel violated and angry at the people who followed me into the bathroom, and I'd feel annoyed at the wrongful arrest too, but I certainly wouldn't think that somehow me personally receiving enough to buy 5 houses would help me feel any better about what happened. Only justice applied to the perpetrators and fixing the wrongfully identifying facial system would make me feel better, so that hopefully this happens to nobody else in the future.
@@fdwr Seeing how no arrests will come to Law Enforcement or employees of the store. The only course of justice is through their pockets. Hence corporations getting sued for millions and sometimes going into bankruptcy. You sound more jealous than anything, talking about homes that potentially could be purchased. This isn’t about you. The victim is seeking 10 million, and it isn’t enough for these companies, agencies to feel their wrongdoing.
He needs to sue the police as well. They didn’t do their due diligence of investigation
I have an acquaintance who was taken to jail once and was forced to stand by as another man was tortured and murdered by other prisoners. The worst part is that nobody even cared that it happened. I knew him before he witnessed that and he is not the same guy anymore. I can only imagine the nightmares you'd have after seeing something like that. Our jails need to do better.
You do go from genuine care and concern, to outright desensitization. I remember my building was in the queue to be called to go to the chow hall, and some guy in one of the pods across from the one I was in, decided that was the perfect time to threaten suicide, by taking a swan dive off the 3rd tier. That put a hold on any movement from our building to go to the chow hall. And the reaction from everyone, was one of frustrated irritation because we were prevented from going to eat dinner. “HURRY UP AND JUMP!!” “WE’RE F’ ING HUNGRY!!”. No concern or compassion for the guy whatsoever.
@@richardtibbetts574 You just stated the entire reason for the system. It is there to proliferate crime and provide a need for the police state we live in.
What a horrible thing. I don't know what I'd do if I witnessed that.
Did the victim's body twitch after they were done with it
I bet
He should sue the state too.
Yes,Sunglass Hut and Macy’s are at fault,but the main culprit is the company that designed and sold the facial identity software that seems to think that all black people look the same. He should be suing them as well.
I saw a video last year of a white lady who was prevented from entering a store as it identified her as a wanted person - who was black. Like seriously, they've got a long way to go before that can be trusted.
It’s bad enough people confuse others. AI is not any better
Shows it is not reliable. Violates rights. This man was violated in so many ways. Horrible.
That's correct on one part. The second part is the Jailhouse Warden/Guards that don't 'get paid enough' to do the job they signed up for, as well. NO EXCUSES FOR THOSE IN CHARGE/POWER - hold the jails/prisons accountable for the crimes that happen, under their noses. CHECKS and BALANCES - sometimes , people need to be seen, in person, for them to get the CHECK, in order to be balanced.
He is black?
They all should be sued and held accountable, this is outrageous on every level 🤦♂️
Absolutely 💯 Disgraceful 🤮🆘😳🚨
They need to sue the police too for not protecting him while in custody.
they never do, the boys trump helped be wrongfully accused/convicted of gang reape were put into adult jails and were repetedly raped for years.
Yeah, it's just nearly impossible to ever win against them. They can just say they have immunity and that usually is enough. :(
The public relies on criminals to punish criminals
they will just investigate themselves and find no wrong doing. like they always do. majority of police departments are full of dirty and corrupted cops
good, then the officer who was charged with George Floyd's death should get a big pay day then, right?
The jail would be sued too
I can’t fathom how this man must be feeling. This is utterly heartbreaking. I hope he can find a way to heal and move forward. No amount of money can take away the pain of this experience and those memories 😢
yeah imagine that kinda anal from 3 guys at 60 years old, aint no bouncing back or healin
this is a nightmare. I hope he gets true justice.
The technology is flawed and it’s ridiculous to make an arrest solely based on obviously flawed technology that did not work properly. What if he was not out of the state to prove his innocence? An innocent man would be in jail now due to incompetence and flawed technology!!! He should not only sue HPD, Macys, Sunglass Hut but also the facial recognition technology company who’s failed technology got him arrested in the first place! He needs to get a very good attorney.
Its very flawed. There are tutorials on YT how to set it up ML software to detect a box passing by, it is very sketchy.
Wasn’t solely based on that…an employee said it was him. Both wrong.
@@DemsAreDestroyingAmerica The AI company coached the employee.
@@MisterGreis At 1:47 they say that the court documents “suggest“(which is speculation in legal speak) that the store employee was prepped by his employer, not the AI company.
WAIT when did we give businesses permission to record our faces and upload them to their databases?!?
We are all this man who was wrongly accused using software. Could happen to anyone. That poor man has a mug shot now I hope the judge vacates that arrest warrant too.
Whoever prepped the store employee and the employee both should be sentenced to life in prison for their part. The employee should be charged with falsifying evidence and filing a false report. The store employees lawyers who filed the report with the police with the false claim should also be charged. Texas should create a law that if your actions leads a person to someone being harmed as this person was you also get charged as a co-conspirator or accessory to the crime.
This is a great idea
Exactly. If the software company prepped the employee it was no doubt because they want to sell their product to more stores. It’s disgusting and sickening on so many levels. That poor man. He will never get over this but I hope he can get proper therapy and have a new life that’s better than before.
Do you know how stupid you sound? Nobody prepped him to make a eye witness identification of grandpa. The detective would have brought a lineup book with similar looking suspects and he would have pointed to the photo of grandpa. There was no falsified evidence and no filing of a false report. The report that was filed simply contained information that was obtained during the investigation which provided the probable cause for the charges. Also, you need to look up and read about the concept of Qualified Immunity. If you're able to read.
This made me cry.
Using A.I. recognition isn't a camera🤦🏽 and they thought it was absolute, that's completely horrific and an innocent man is raped from their incompetence.
This is a horrible situation…..no money will make him whole but he deserves every penny if not more for them putting him in this life changing mess
This is the most messed absurd & obnoxious case I have ever heard!! That poor grandpa!!! What a messed up world we lived in.
Not the world but America.
The cops should be sued as well, because they didn't actually investigate before arresting him or even before the warrant was issued.
I hope that this can be the last time this ever happens
💯
This story is heartbreaking.
😂😂😂
It's a shame.
OMG. They ruined this man's life. What a misfortunate set of circumstances. He's owed $250,000,000 at least.
He should also never have to pay taxes again.
They should give him a free pair of sunglasses and tell his lawyer to go chase another ambulance!
I can’t not think about a worse scenario, absolute nightmare this man has lived through.
Someone used technology to look at footage rather than looking at it themselves. That is why cops need to go to jail for not doing their duty
I hope this man gets swift justice. I can't imagine how horrifying everything must have been. I can't believe they made an arrest based off software that has been proven to be faulty in the past.
Sue the city, then Sunglass Hut then Macy's!!🤬🤬🤬🤬
Sue the software company and the jail and the city and the jailer for not making it safe.
Good lawyers and team for getting all that work done.
The authorities are just as responsible.
What’s scary is nowadays the machines are in control already. I’ve even been robbed by an ATM machine owned by ING bank in the Netherlands and the machine claimed there was no error or problem! Even with video cameras pointed on me the bank refused to verify the footage proving the machine made an error. It’s terrifying times we live in, just like the film Idiocracy where the Carl’s Jr. machine takes the lady’s money and defames her. Same thing is happening nowadays. Machines can now steal our money, our likeness, our voice, our identity… and this is just the beginning. Protect yourself however possible and film things as much as possible.
I don't use banks I will stuff my mattress before I use a bank for anything.My first time using the bank they tried to trick me with a predatory loan right before the recession
😒 🤔 hmmm ... can WE SAY ... MINORITY REPORT the movie 🎬 🎞 🎥 starring Tom Cruise
i love that profile pic lol
The county and the sheriff’s office should be sued for letting that happen to him.
It didn't happened to him. He's lying to increase his chances of getting paid for the mistake that was made. How does he know that will work? Look at your comment and 99% of the other comments. You people believe that nonsense, no questions asked. Why wasn't the county or sheriff's office mentioned as well for the suit, because it's a 100% certainty that he didn't say ANYTHING to the sheriff's office, and rape wasn't thought up until AFTER he was released on the mistake and he's trying to maximize his pay day. He should have said sued for 100 million, they would have quickly settled for 10 million. Now they'll probable settle for 1 million or less.
No way I'd let them get away scot-free. Did the police even think? OK this man is a senior citizen but he's committing armed robber on a Sunglass Hut? Did that make sense to them?
The mofos that did that were hired as cashiers not security. If they would have just stayed in their lane.🤔
My prayers are with this poor poor man. I hope he gets some kind of Justice here on Earth and I pray to the Father that He Comforts him.
ONE KEY POINT- Whenever you go to renew your driver’s license you are at risk of sudden arrest.
Why do you think they make you renew? The government is keeping tabs on you. Wont be bothered to see who’s illegally entering our nation but they will make sure they know exactly where you are.
Why
Cuz it seems they check for warrants. The warrant may be deserved or defective.
THAT PART!!!!!!!!!
FACTS!!!!!!!
US GOVERNMENT PLEASE EXPLAIN…
WE’LL WAIT…!
@@BeautifullyBroken143 Try watching the video you are commenting on.
I thought it was already ruled several times using facial recognition as the sole identifier was illegal
This is the problem with the way we operate jails in America. Once they take control of your person, the state is responsible for your safety, but jails are not properly equipped to allow them to do that. There doesn't appear to be any separation of people arrested but not convicted of any crime from other types of prisoners. There certainly isn't any sanitization...just being arrested begins the punishment process in America and that's before you can receive a trial!
The police should be sued for wrongful arrest and for him being raped in prison. Where were the guards how is it that people can get away with hurting other people in jail. It’s not as if they have the freedom to just wonder around for hours at a time. It’s funny how there always watched but when it comes to someone being assaulted there is never a guard around to see what’s going on.
it happens everyday, it's cute you think gaurds/cops protect inmates.
they will just investigate themselves and find no wrong doing. like they always do. majority of police departments are full of dirty and corrupted cops
He needs to sue the camera company as well
This could happen to anyone!!! Sue them for way more! This man will never be the same because society and technology have failed him!
Agreed, unlike all the politicians claiming the same this actually is something that could happen to anyone!
Not anyone. Don't you guys find it highly questionable that the AI program has a high probability of false negatives w/ African Americans? Someone had to program it.
Lord help us all I know this would have taken me out mentally!
