Minnesota man accuses AI crime app of defamation
Moen says the app’s AI-generated alert falsely labeled an officer-assist dispatch as a sex crime and stayed online for two weeks.
- On May 28, CrimeRadar published a dispatch report mislabeling an "officer assist" in Park Rapids, Minnesota, as a "sex crime," Jeremy Moen claims, saying the AI-generated alert defamed him.
- Moen was walking his 2-year-old dog, Maverick, when he found his cousin's 8-year-old stepson at Heartland Park and yelled, "Don't make me put hands on you," to motivate the child to exit the water.
- BBC Verify previously reported in December 2025 that Scoopz LLC generated false alerts across Ohio, Colorado, Missouri, Oregon, Tennessee and Texas; Scoopz acknowledged "serious transcription issues" yet Moen contends the company continues operating despite known inaccuracies.
- Moen filed complaints with the Minnesota Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division and demanded Scoopz LLC remove the alert within 72 hours; Wilson said Moen "hasn't really gone out of the apartment" since the incident.
- While Moen struggles to find legal representation, he is building his case using the AI platform Claude, stating, "I can't even walk my dog down the street anymore because I'm afraid.
