Image Recognition
The organization raises questions and concerns about facial recognition software and race, though it is not clear exactly how the faulty identification occurred in this case. Beyond sounding the alarm about ineffective policework, the ACLU is decrying the use of facial recognition software. The ACLU claims that police used facial recognition to match Perryman to the suspect and blamed facial recognition software errors for the arrest. The question is whether, and to what extent, facial recognition software was used in this bad identification. In the lawsuit, ACLU-MN is asking to court to stop Bloomington and Hennepin County from using facial recognition software for suspect identification.
