In fact that's exactly what happened. The police realized it was the wrong guy and still brought him in, he still lose 30 hours and had to post bail.
I cant even imagine if two morons showed up to my house, saw that I was the wrong person, and then arrested me in front of my family anyway.

At the very least, the article should address that and compare the reactions, to prove people are more likely to act despite knowing better when the id was made by a computer.
- Shared404 6y agoA reasonable point.
