The biggest problem here was the high bail combined with the long delay until the "real" test was performed.
Maybe a solution to this abuse would be to require that a real test be performed on the substance within 48 hours, with automatic reduction of the bail by 99% if it's not.
I wondered if maybe it wasn't something more evil. Think about it, these so-called false positives, maybe they're not. Maybe these are real positives triggered by evidence falsification; a meth crystal that slips from the cop's hand into the test tube along with the test substance (or gets added in advance).
Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't know why these states and judges don't just drop the pretense and set the bail at $999,999,999,999,999,999. I mean, what good is high bail if everyone on the planet could pool all the money and pony up enough to bail one of these "druggies" out?

Yes, you read that right: Boston residents magically become "Gang Associates" if they're shot at by gang members. Or carjacked. Or mugged. If this happens twice, it appears they'll be upgraded to "Gang Member" thanks to their inability to avoid being victimized by gang members.
No, only certain people. Note that it says "may be assessed."
I'll give you two tries to identify a characteristic of people who are almost never assessed these points, and two more tries to find a characteristic that almost always gets the person assessed.
So, most likely, this is just a coat of paint over the demonstrated racism of BPD.
Deputy AG Claims There's No Market For Better Security While Complaining About Encryption At A Cybercrime Conference
What he meant is "no legitimate market." Since, in his view, the only people interested in protecting their privacy through encryption are pedophiles, extortionists, drug dealers, terrorists, and other "detriments to public safety."
Note that this implicitly pigeonholes anyone who desires privacy through encryption as a "detriment to public safety." Because, as has been so often stated, everyone not in that category has "nothing to hide."
No, iet is esy for Vectuary to solve this problem. They just add a Y/N flag to their API that the partner must set to Y to use the API. The flag will be labelled the "ConsentObtainedFlag" and the partner will be required to set it to Y only if "consent has been obtained" and if the partner does not set it to Y, then the API will reject the request. Vectuary will just point to all those Y flags, which they will record, as proof that consent was confirmed.
Now, of course the partners will also have API's and those will also have a ConsentObtainedFlag. And, of course, the contracts will all say none of these is ever supposed to be set to Y unless affirmative consent has been obtained that the citizen gave to read one article in a blog, 3 years before.
But now CNIL gets the fun of tracing all those Y's back through shell companies and contractual relationships, across country and legal boundaries, through hundreds and hundreds of relationships, some of which will be circular, to determine its origin.
Maybe the origin is hardcoded Y, in which case Vectuary says simply that the originator violated the terms of their API. Or not. Because maybe it leads back to a consent someone actually has on record, in which case CNIL has the fun of figuring out if the consent really covered Vectuary API.
In reference to that first URL, the one that ends ".../watch?v=%s": The "%s" is a common computer language shorthand for "insert arbitrary string here". So, if I were YouTube, I would think that that meant "return information on every video ever watched."
The Houston Forensic Science Center has fired a crime scene investigator who violated policy by using unapproved equipment that resulted in false negatives for biological evidence in at least two sexual assault cases, officials said Friday.
It rather seems to me that they are far quicker terminate someone for false negatives then they are for someone who yields false positives.
I mean in this case, she was terminated "immediately" for using unapproved equipment that yielded false negatives. But my recollection is that previous investigations into false positives have taken months, years even, and involved legal system foot-dragging at every inch of the way. In the Annie Dookhan case for example, it was said that their first response to the discovery that she was falsifying tests, yielding false positives, was to give her even more tests to falsify.

No problem at all
It's not problematic at all. A judicious application of parallel construction, and no one will ever guess there was a camera involved.
Especially not those constitution-thumping judges.
