When security footage at a local McDonald’s captured a man trying to get a young, unaccompanied girl to leave with him, Jacksonville Beach police relied on software that flagged Robert Dillon as a 93 per cent match for the suspect.
93% doesn’t even sound like a particularly good match. But I’m sure the cops don’t care whether they get the right person, as long as they get someone.
93% is horrible for any type of classification. 99.8% should be the minimum for questioning. Anything below that is absolute garbage. I could probably be convinced on a 3% error bar so 96%-97%

Always been that way
93% sure is like an additional 40% than what they were use to operating on
…And they still got it wrong
