A pilot program testing AI-powered weapons scanners inside some New York City subway stations this summer did not detect any passengers with firearms — but falsely alerted more than 100 times.
Earlier this year, investors filed a class-action lawsuit, accusing company executives of overstating the devices’ capabilities and claiming that “Evolv does not reliably detect knives or guns.”
It’s fraud. The company knows it’s unreliable and the investors know it’s unreliable, I wonder why NYC is still going to expand the trial run? 🤔
[Mayor] Adams has touted the Massachusetts-based company since taking office in 2022.
So it isn’t working and is just more tax dollars wasted on the security theater? Cool.

Gotta get that probable cause to search for weed.
Recreational weed has been legal in NY for years
Sorry, just replace weed with crack.
Not if there is a federal agent. It is legal here in NM but the feds are constantly seizing pot because it is not legal at a federal level.
I don’t think federal agents are using these scanners to find people carrying weed
It’s gonna be fun when it’s legal in all 50 states at the state level, but still illegal federally.
Wait, did I say fun? I meant bullshit. It’s going to be bullshit.
Trump DGAF and Kamala made a career outta jailing weed smokers so it’s not likely to change anytime soon.
Since when does law plays a role in harassment?

more tax dollars stolen
All personal income taxation is theft.
No, no. We just need to keep using it! It just needs a bigger sample. Surely, we’ll find a weapon, eventually!

It’s the TSA for the subway!
I dunno, does the scanner grope you and steal stuff from your baggage?
If your dildo looks remotely like a gun, it might come after you.
Well now I feel a fool because I bought a gun-shaped dildo so it would draw less attention. I thought this was America!
Well I don’t want it to come before me!
