Do one a week and they'll get overwhelmed. They can't put all their resources into a dozen different manhunts each, by definition.

50 years later they finally find him having lived a long fruitful life I'm Santa Monica as a smile model in Colgate commercials. Had 10 children with a beautiful model wife who loved him. Probably worked at the muffler shop for 20 years before discovering his Passion for photography.

Limp dick regime goons aint got shit... and the long this goes, the more likely he will get away with it.

All this time and energy for this good guy, what a waste, fuck cops.

[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 weeks ago

police are still searching for a motive as to why someone would kill Thompson.

Someone assassinates a legal serial killer, and cops are looking for a motive?

Wow, those hiring requirements that disqualify applicants if they have too high of an IQ is really working out well for the police force.

This is how I learn that Optum is a subsidiary. Even more apropos that this happened just before I took my wife to another chemo appointment at a facility that was recently bought by Optum ... two and a half weeks late because insurance dragged its feet on authorization.

The reality is: Unless he fled the country he was always going to be caught. That is the point of living in a surveillance state. It was just a matter of time.

As a thought exercise, imagine a bathroom. Ten people go in. One person flips their jacket inside out. Ten people come out. Do you suddenly lose that one person who now has a green jacket instead of a red one? No. You realize the person with a green jacket never "entered" and know something was up.

And now extend that to every single traffic camera, security camera, and so forth in the city and in the country. Because now that "bathroom" is a camera at every major exit in and out of Central Park as well as places where the shrubbery is low enough that you can hop a fence.

And yes, that is a VERY large amount of data. If only we had spent the past few decades learning to represent things as graph problems, how to use computer vision to automate recognition, and so forth.

It was obviously dramatized (and is fascinating from a production standpoint and how much effort they put in to keep the nazi from killing anyone...) but Person of Interest wasn't some dystopic future. It was, if anything, underestimating what is already possible.

So... here is hoping that ridiculously handsome G went straight to the airport and flew to a non extradition treaty country. Probably didn't though and is probably going to get picked up at a bus station.


Also: For all the gun nuts who think you rae going to use your closet full of AR-15s to scream "WILDCATS" and fight off the fascists or invaders or whatever? They'll have access to those cameras too and will be able to figure out what house or cave you are hiding in and send a few drones. So... yeah
