Presumably it detects a head partly through recognizing a face. Apparently facial recognition works better for males than females, and lighter skins than darker

  "head" recognition is probably a different problem than face recognition, you don't want to shoot someone in the back or side of the head for instance. This kind of side-steps the issue of, cops aren't shooting protesters in the head by accident. I expect that if any police departments do buy these- and that's a big if- the smart sight will simply be disabled.

    I'd think head recognition is hair plus face recognition. And we should check whether blonde or black hair, etc., is easier to detect.
