    I’m going to buck the trend here and say this is less about the facial recognition software. The police used an 8 year old photo even though they had something more recent available. Then the victim identifies the woman. The only thing the software did was put her in the lineup.

    I’m very much against facial recognition, even if it’s 100% accurate. It’s because it will get abused. Just like any other tech that reduces privacy.
