He wasn't arrested by facial recognition, he was arrested after facial recognition provided that he might look similar and then multiple humans looked at him and all the photos and and (falsely) verified that yep, that's the one, there's a match.
The tech provided a candidate, but all the decisions were made by humans, who came to the same conclusions.
- einrealist 5y agoI think, its more about Probable Cause for an arrest and that facial recognition is considered a valid, non-biased trigger for that by the police. The emphasis is on the "non-biased" here. It basically triggered the chain of events where none of the investigators really double-checked. Its kinda similar to the Stop-and-Frisk issue.

- rscoots 5y agoYea but I think almost by definition the software will find a person that looks very similar to the actual perp. So then subsequent humans are more likely to make the mistake. I don't see how this is much different than artist's sketches or just using the video itself, other than cops might put more undue stock in the software, and the obvious potential for mass surveillance.
