Retailers increasingly are using facial recognition software to patrol their stores for shoplifters and other unwanted customers. But the technology’s accuracy is highly dependent on technical factors — the cameras’ video quality, a store’s lighting, the size of its face database — and a mismatch can lead to dangerous results.
That dude deserves a payday at the very least. Facial recognition isn’t reliable yet. And even when it is that shit should still be illegal to use as the sole justification in arrests. Do some god damn police work. Especially if the dude has an air tight alibi like BEING IN JAIL. It would take 5 minutes to confirm that.
