So because she is better off financially and is not worried about google tracking, she had all the cameras, GPS tracking, and everything set up to prove her innocence.

I decline all of that stuff and i would have a MUCH tougher time proving my innocence when wrongly accused like she was.

This is just another step towards fascism where police are charging people for crimes they never committed, based on AI and computers screwing up.

That's intentional. Someone just makes shit up, using a magic machine, so that their responsibility were in doubt for other similar irresponsible people with ability to fuck up others' lives.

There should be a responsible policeman for every such decision, going to jail for at least as much time as she would were she convicted, when the decision is wrong.
