The Criminal Justice system has become a big business which means more people into the system, more draconian punishments, and more ways for people to become revolving door inmates. Doesn’t sound like freedom to me, just plan freaking dumb.
AI should never be utilized as a tool for predictive purposes. It’s been thoroughly documented that AI is terrible about predictive algorithms when programmed with baseline data that is biased “group think.” It should NEVER be used for tier placement or as a risk assessment tool for those forced to register.
See where this is going?
AI is really bad at intuition, individual perspective, objective task solving and emotional intelligence. In some instances, it’s actually WORSE than human judgment.
But yes, I can totally see them using AI against us really soon as a legitimate and “reliable” means for registry placement, supervision and perpetual containment.
This case is from Florida and the opinion confuses me. In 1 spot the Ct of Appeals says the registry is not punitive and in another place it says the registry is a criminal punishment. Community what is your take?
State v Korsen March 26, 2025
Opinion_2024-0807.pdf
I was just watching a video of Catherine Carpenter speaking in the NARSOL Conference back in 2013. She said a lot of things which proved that the registry is brutal to all of us. She said that many defendants got put on the registry for any kind of crime, not specifically sex crimes. She said most of the states’ government officials ignore risk assessment and keep the defendant on lifetime registration just for the plain conviction from 20 or more years ago. I got put on Tier 3 just for my conviction from 2002, which was 23 years ago, even though my danger level is very, very low. I would like Janice or any other advocates to tell me if Janice and all the other past speakers at the conferences have spoken to the judges in the courts and the attorney general in the DOJ and other officials and made any more progress in reducing the registry law. Please respond to me when you can. Thank you.
