BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Jamestown man was arrested Friday following the discovery of narcotics and two children in an apartment on South Main Street, according to Jamestown police.

56-year-old Salvatore Russo and the children were found in a lower apartment during a search by the Jamestown Metro Drug Task Force and the Jamestown Police Department SWAT Team. It is alleged that detectives found drug paraphernalia and crack cocaine in the apartment.

Russo was charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, and second degree criminally using drug paraphernalia. He remains held pending arraignment at the Jamestown City Jail.

Microsoft bans US police departments from using enterprise AI tool for facial recognition
Microsoft has reaffirmed its ban on U.S. police departments from using generative AI for facial recognition through Azure OpenAI Service, the company's fully managed, enterprise-focused wrapper around OpenAI tech. Language added Wednesday to the terms of service for Azure OpenAI Service more obviously prohibits integrations with Azure OpenAI Service from being used "by or for" police departments for facial recognition in the U.S., including integrations with OpenAI's current -- and perhaps future -- image-analyzing models. A separate new bullet point covers "any law enforcement globally," and explicitly bars the use of "real-time facial recognition technology" on mobile cameras, like body cameras and dashcams, to attempt to identify a person in "uncontrolled, in-the-wild" environments.
