re: NOPD quietly abusing facial recognition

oh dear. You've identified one case where a person was arrested, and you only tell half the story, because it was human error that led to the arrest.
Quick, let's put an end to all facial recognition technology, always and forever!

"Abusing" - nonsense. Project NOLA, not the cops, ran the project. They gave their information to the police. How's that different from you calling a detective if you have information about a murder?
The objections to this remind me of the objections to shotspotter in Chicago. The real problem people had with it is that it helped solve crime. Boo hoo, losers and pretend "privacy" activists. There's no privacy in you being in public. Anybody can take a picture of you or recognize you.
Ironically this expose of "abuse" happens after the technology was apparently used to help capture at least one of the escaped criminals from the jail in Orleans.

I’m on defense / commercial side and I do not necessarily agree with tort reform either. But when the going rate on an industrial death case is $25-30 million, expect insurance and corporate America to respond accordingly.
"industrial death case" - a worker's comp death case is not worth much money at all. When a negligence case is brought, most death cases aren't worth all that much either, compared to say a living plaintiff with multiple surgeries and a need for future medical care, missing limbs etc.
What cases are regularly getting to 25-30 million?

Vidor, Texas. I had to interact with several separate groups of locals there, briefly. All of them were memorably unfriendly for no reason. I had heard of Vidor being a bad spot before, so maybe that's why the memory sticks out.
Also some black friends of mine said they had a bad time in Bogalusa with locals, when they had to be there for work a few weeks. They got a lot of bad vibes.

There was pressure to get a conviction after the OJ trial.
I don't disagree with you. But never forget that Gil Garcetti chose to tank the OJ case, by filing the charges in downtown LA, instead of Santa Monica where the crime took place.
In Santa Monica there would have been basically zero chance of acquittal.

Call attorney Richard Dalton in Carencro. He does a lot of these cases.
He will know if you have a good case or not.

They only get paid if they win your case. So they front the money for the suit and take the risk.
So if they lose, they are only out a few hours of their time and a few filing fees. Meanwhile defendants are out thousands more and their ability to clawback any money from frivolous suits is hampered by the legal system.
If it's a case of any consequence, they've put more than a few hours into it.
As for "a few filing fees", these days you need experts for most cases if they're worth anything. If a case goes all the way to trial it would be very unsurprising if the plaintiff lawyer ends up spending 20 to 50 grand.
