A machine learning algorithm known as Patternizr is included in the DAS, which connects potential criminal suspects to other unsolved crimes in order to speed arrests and close old cases.[20][21] The algorithm is trained on a decade of historic police data of manually identified crime patterns.

Potential criminal suspects. Who needs civil liberties, anyway?

You are criticizing a unsourced claim on Wikipedia, not validated information about Patternizer.

Regardless, how do you think crimes are investigated? Is it your theory that suspects must volunteer themselves before being investigated?

So no more "Copilot can make mistakes" kind of disclaimers? Patternizr nevr maks mstakes?
