What's shocking is the audacity to go to such lengths to set someone up for a crime. I wonder if we've missed other similar cases because of 'churn' culture of our legal system.

Thought I'd run some things past my most talkative colleague today about Anthropic working with Palantir.
They were not impressed.

If my maths is correct, IBAC, the body in charge of independent complaints investigation of VicPol investigated 2% of complaints made to them.
Not sure we can say we have an independent complaints system with those kind of numbers. #PoliceOmbudsmanNow
