Image Recognition
A Minnesota man has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Minnesota's Hennepin County, the city of Bloomington and multiple law enforcement employees within the two agencies. The lawsuit argues faulty facial recognition technology played a role in the violation of his rights, leading to his arrest, imprisonment and prosecution for a crime he did not commit.Kylese Perryman was arrested and accused of carjacking and armed robbery in 2021. “It was not facial recognition that led to that person’s name. The analyst recognized Perryman’s booking photograph and saw that it appeared to resemble the suspect from the surveillance footage in the Bloomington case. Hennepin County also represented to the court during Mr. Perryman’s expungement process that he was identified by facial recognition software.The lawsuit will help us determine which story as to the means of identification is true.
