Why the Police Have No Business Using Facial Recognition Tech

Last week The Verge reported on an incident involving a man from Detroit who was wrongly arrested for shoplifting back in 2019. The article said that the Detroit police department had used facial recognition technology to help catch the "offender." Charges were dropped, but the man is now suing the police department. It's a terrible situation for all involved, but it does bring up an important topic to debate.
