This software is expensive and incompetent. Such blunders are expensive, think of the dispatched officers, the highly disturbed school and so on. Such false positives should be heavily penalized such that the companies providing the service are incentivized to fix their systems. The officials claiming the software worked as needed are probably benefitting from these contracts.
