DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit police chief says he’s setting new policies on the use of facial-recognition technology. The move comes after a 32-year-old Black woman who was eight months pregnant filed a lawsuit. Porcha Woodruff says she was wrongly charged with robbery and carjacking in a case that was ultimately dismissed by prosecutors. Chief James White says the technology produced leads in the case but was followed by “very poor” police work.
