Cameras don't have the same dynamic range as human eyes.

  Maybe there is some transitive effect from racially biased cameras.

  The very best HDR cameras have roughly the same dynamic ranges as the human eye. You can't display all of this range to people because of the limitations of display technology, but you can feed the full range to a facial recognition engine. Security budgets might not stretch to top-end HDR equipment but the price keeps on coming down. The performance of a modern flagship phone is remarkable compared to a few years ago - and fixed surveillance cameras can have much bigger glass and sensors, making it cheaper to get super-human performance. One new but related issue is that body-worn cameras can capture more low-light detail than the human eye. Police unions have argued against deploying these sensors, because, they want the evidential record to show what the officer could see - not what a cat could see.

    Most digital cameras have a dynamic range well in excess of the human eye.
