They weren't "identified as criminals." They were identified as possibly being criminals. (And as other posters have shown, they were identified with only 80% confidence as being a criminal.) And an officer can review the evidence presented by the report and make a human determination to follow up with a physical arrest.

- akira2501 8y ago> They were identified as possibly being criminals. And you've highlighted the _exact_ problem here. That is not at all what has happened, they have been identified as "possibly having a similar appearance to one or more particular images of a suspected criminal." > And an officer can review the evidence presented by the report and make a human determination to follow up with a physical arrest. Which already presumes that the system will only have false positives. When the system produces false negatives, then this mode of investigation is entirely flawed.
