For facial recognition experts and privacy advocates, the East Bay detective’s request, while dystopian, was also entirely predictable. It emphasizes the ways that, without oversight, law enforcement is able to mix and match technologies in unintended ways, using untested algorithms to single out suspects based on unknowable criteria.

Garbage is probably how they refer to all of the potential “suspects”.

Getting a psychic to give them a suspect through the shadow realm or something would probably be more accurate.

What’s fuckin wild is that the Shadow Realm as a concept doesn’t exist in the original Yu-Gi-Oh.

For example, in Yugi Muto and Arkana’s Duel, the loser was to be sent to the Shadow Realm if touched by the “Dark Energy Disc”. In the Japanese version, the disks were simply buzz saw blades that would dismember the loser’s feet, presumably resulting in death from blood loss or shock.
