I had used Amazon Rekognition in our dating product extensively for moderation till Aug 2018, it was in-accurate for people with darker skin often with wrong gender and age identification. I had contacted them regarding these issues and was told that they are working with new models. I haven't tested it recently to see if the situation had improved. I didn't use the Face Recognition API for privacy reasons, I assume that would be the most used API by law-enforcement; but if it is anything like my experience then I would be very worried for some innocent to be wrongly tagged by the system.

> I would be very worried for some innocent to be wrongly tagged by the system. You should. Law enforcement in particular doesn't think that false positives are that big of a deal (after all, they argue, all that would cause is a cop to talk to the wrong person). They prefer to accept more false positives if that means fewer false negatives. I disagree entirely with that.
