From the article: "But of these 92% – a total if 2,297 – were incorrect, with just 173 providing ‘true positive alerts’." Those are frightening odds when you consider the impact such system could have on those "false positives", eg. possible detainment until your identity is confirmed. The police may have had the resources to check each case in person during the trial but you can imagine what could happen once there is a push for more wide adoption of these systems as a way to save on police resources. I would also love to see the proportion of people with dark skin tones who were flagged as false positives. Then what happens to the pictures of non-confirmed positives and negatives? Are they purged from the system automatically or are they kept around for a while? What recourse have the false-positive to not be harassed in the future? Let's face it, this genie is not meant to stay in the bottle and it's a policing dream to be able to automatically identify potential undesirables, wherever they are. Why not at the entrance of banks and other sensitive places? Like sports clubs and parks and swimming pools. At every corner of the streets maybe?
