The Horrific Toll Of AI On The Unknowing Masses

‘Grandma Jailed at Gunpoint! Her Accuser? An AI Photo Match' (Martin Mawyer, March 21, 2026)

“Imagine this.


“You are at home, watching your grandchildren. It is an ordinary day, quiet, routine, and familiar.
"Then suddenly, a bang on your front door.
"Federal marshals are standing there, guns drawn. "They tell you that you are wanted for bank fraud in North Dakota. "But you have never been to North Dakota. Not once. Not ever.

"That is exactly what happened to 50-year-old grandmother Angela Lipps of Elizabethton, Tennessee. And what followed should alarm every American, because this was not just a mistake.

The Arrest That Should Never Have Happened

"In the summer of 2025, U.S. Marshals arrested Lipps at gunpoint while she was babysitting four young children.
"She was booked into a Tennessee jail as a fugitive.

"The charges were serious. Multiple counts of identity theft and fraud tied to a string of bank withdrawals in Fargo, North Dakota.
"But Lipps had never even been in the state.
"Not for a visit. Not for a day trip. Not even passing through. "The “evidence” that placed her there was not a witness, not fingerprints, not DNA.
"It was facial recognition software

No One Asked the Simplest Question

"At any point, someone could have stopped and asked a basic question. "Was she even in North Dakota when the crimes occurred? "No one did.
"Bank records later showed that while the fraud was happening in Fargo, Lipps was in Tennessee, buying cigarettes and depositing Social Security checks. "More than 1,200 miles away. "The truth was not hidden. It was never checked because police believed an AI image couldn’t possibly mis-identify someone.

This is not an isolated incident of arrests made based on mis identity with facial recognition. The following articles are on flawed facial recognition leading to the arrests of innocent people. You dont have to read all of the articles, but just take a look at how frequent this happens with people of different races, genders, and age groups. AI mistakes happen. Yet AI is being used in everything from our thermostats, to our Government institutions, including our military. This is unsettling

****And there are a multitude of more examples of mis identity with AI facial recognition landing innocent people in jail.
And we are supposed to believe AI is more secure, safe, and is a better form of proof of identity?****
