    Eh.

    The purpose of the AI is the surveillance…

    It’s all one thing.

    The cameras record plates, the towers log phones. Everything records browsing data.

    All that goes to a data center to be saved indefinitely.

    AI constantly tries to organize it into profiles indexed via search tags.

    Then if they want to look at anyone, they have a complete file on everyone ready at an instant. If they don’t have someone to look at, they ask AI for a list of everyone that was in the right places at the right times. Then the AI looks at the browsing history of everyone and any redflags there or anywhere else.

    It’s 100% how they got Luigi, and if it comes out during the trial that the same file already exists for everyone in America, citizen or not…

    The whole house of cards crashes down, because even the racists will be able to figure out that means ICE could just deport all the criminals if they wanted to. And everyone left of the racists (including the people who don’t give a fuck) will be pissed for the right reasons.

      They got Luigi because a McDonald’s employee believed the bullshit about there being reward money for narcing.

        No.

        Altoona police responded to the 911 call placed by the McDonald’s manager, who said multiple customers told her a person in the back corner looked like the man wanted by New York authorities for assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

        They’re just really upset, and they’re, like, coming to me. And I was like, well, I can’t approach him, you know?,” the manager said.

        During the 911 call, the dispatcher tried to get a description. The manager told her that because of how the man was dressed, it was hard to get a good look.

        “Well, he has a beanie pulled down, so the only thing you can see is his eyebrows,” the manager told 911.

        https://www.wtaj.com/news/local-news/911-call-released-in-luigi-mangione-arrest/

        His bus stopped at a McDonald’s and multiple “random” customers kept trying to get an employee to call, getting upset with them when they wouldn’t but refusing to call themselves.

        Even tho you couldn’t see what he looked like.

        That smells exactly like they knew he was on the bus, and needed a civilian to call in a tip to justify the huge response that magically showed up in the middle of nowhere in minutes.

        The most likely explanation is all those super concerned citizens who didn’t want the reward they were trying to get minimum wage workers to take were cops/feds.

          Why wait for pretext if they wanted him? You’re guessing he was already under surveillance. If “they” wanted him they would have grabbed him. There was a nationwide manhunt for him. “They” were desperate for any details. You’re giving “them” too much credit. “They” clearly didn’t have capability and capacity to find him without a rando calling in.

            They wanted a pretext that wouldn’t require them to expose their surveillance state apparatus in court.

            You would be extremely foolish to continue to underestimate those who are in power. “They’re all just dumb and weak! They couldn’t find him!”

            Read up on Parallel Construction like that other chatter suggested.

          That’s a little convoluted and overly complicated for no good reason. “They” would just call or grab him.

            It’s convoluted because they needed a parallel investigation to use in court.

            1. Use illegal means you don’t want to admit in court.

            2. Locate suspect

            3. Manufacture a plausible excuse that suspect was found.

            4. Use that in court

            It’s not a hypothetical, it’s fucking procedure

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction

            No one knows everything, I’d encourage you to ask questions next time.

            Quick edit:

            That’s actually the second time in a row you did that, if I stop replying, it’s because I gave up on helping you and won’t see anymore replies in the future
