I think the most amazing part is that the school doubled down on the mistake by parroting the corporate line.
I expect a school to be smart enough to say “Yes, this is a terrible situation, and we’re taking a closer look at the risks involved here.”
Lawyer's advice?
I would think "no comment" would be safer/smarter than "yeah, your kids are at risk of being shot by police by attending our school, deal with it".
Good point.
Except they never say that.
> Omnilert later admitted the incident was a “false positive” but claimed the system “functioned as intended,” saying its purpose is to “prioritize safety and awareness through rapid human verification.”
> Baltimore County Public Schools echoed the company’s statement in a letter to parents, offering counseling services to students impacted by the incident.
