Image Recognition
This has caused numerous issues, and in Detroit, a Black woman is suing the city for being falsely arrested due to a facial recognition error. She discovered that facial recognition software erroneously matched a picture taken eight years ago when she was detained for driving with an expired license. She recently filed paperwork alleging false arrest, false imprisonment, and a violation of her Fourth Amendment rights to be protected from unreasonable seizures. The 32-year-old is the third person to file a lawsuit against the Detroit police due to a false arrest because of faulty recognition software. It also says that the police department refused to use a recent driver’s license photo of Woodruff in the facial recognition software and not asking the suspect if they recognized Woodruff.
