AI Mistakes Bag of Chips for a Gun—Police Point Guns at Student!

Artificial intelligence was supposed to make us safer—but what happens when you mix bad AI with even worse government oversight? In this case, you get a horrifying story of a Baltimore County student who had guns pointed at him after an AI-powered weapon detection system mistook his empty bag of Doritos for a firearm.

Government uses fear to sell us on gun control, then uses the fearful consequences of THAT to sell us on surveillance systems.

And then companies like Evolv and Omnilert sell "AI safety" tech that keeps failing in schools and subways.

This isn't just about one mistake. It's about a dangerous pattern of AI misuse and institutional incompetence that's putting real people, especially kids, in danger.
