Concerns over AI surveillance in schools are intensifying after armed officers swarmed a 16-year-old student outside Kenwood High School in Baltimore when an AI gun detection system falsely flagged a Doritos bag as a firearm.

Allen was handcuffed at gunpoint. Police later showed him the AI-captured image that triggered the alert. The crumpled Doritos bag in his pocket had been mistaken for a gun.

I like how it goes from student traumatic relation where he's scared about his life

“It was like eight cop cars that came pulling up for us,” Allen told WBAL-TV 11 News. “They started walking toward me with guns, talking about ‘Get on the ground,’ and I was like, ‘What?’”

“They made me get on my knees, put my hands behind my back, and cuff me. Then they searched me and found nothing,” he said.

“It was mainly like, am I gonna die? Are they going to kill me? “They showed me the picture, said that looks like a gun, I said, ‘no, it’s chips.’”

to the principal gaslighting whole situation like nothing happened, they just wanted to help him (not)die

“We understand how upsetting this was for the individual that was searched as well as the other students who witnessed the incident,” the principal wrote.

Hey, it could've been really bad publicity for the principal. Gotta feel for the poor guy, reputation could've been tainted for a few months. In all seriousness, a lot of school administrators seem to be the least empathetic or qualified people to be in charge of a school.

Seriously ? Kid should go to private psychiatrist that should give an opinion and after that they should sue principal, school, police and city over big money. If it was rich kid whole city will be apologizing.

They should sue, I agree.
