Given the probability of police officers in the USA taking any action as hostile and then ending up shooting him a false positive here is the same as swatting someone.
The system here sent the police off to kill someone.
Yep. Think of it as the new exciting version of swatting. Naturally, one will still need to figure out common ways to force a specific misattribution, but, sadly, I think there will be people working on it ( if there aren't already ).
Sure. But school shootings are also common in the US. A student who has brought a gun to a school is very likely not harmless. So false negatives aren’t free either.
Well guns aren’t allowed in schools at all. It’s a felony. So if your point is that the ratio is low, that’s only because the denominator is way too big.
