I'm stunned to see someone arguing that ticketing someone for scratching their face is acceptable. Just because a machine lets attempt it at scale doesn't make it any more acceptable.

A cop pulled her over for illegal use of the carpool lane. It's a completely understandable error since the car appeared from the outside to have only one occupant.
The point is that errors happen with all methods of enforcement. But when we talk about automated systems, somehow the standard is set much higher, so even one driver falsely accused is too much.
Since the tradeoff to minimizing false positives is greater injury and death, it matters that we get it right.
If this system were backed by some sort of flag-and-review system, then this man wouldn't have received a ticket for scratching his face.
