If a cop keeps misidentifying black people's faces, they can be removed from their job or disciplined by the department.

- pempem 3y ago+1! And further to your point, if a DA's office keeps arresting people incorrectly, they won't keep that job. The fact that we as a society are not okay with just arresting the wrong person is how we started talking about 'stop & frisk' and its shortcomings in the public domain. It's how we had BLM summer and many other protests after the killing/arrest/etc. of innocent people. and that's how we should respond when the wrong person is arrested who can I call when "the AI got it wrong"? It's worse than google customer service.
- joecool1029 3y agoThe reality here is none of that will happen in all but the most egregious cases. If either of those scenarios came to pass the police unions stand ready to defend them. At most the cop will get some paid leave and a settlement payout (as well as the victim at great expense to the town/city) and maybe cop will be transferred to a new department while the whole complaint is put under a NDA.
