Detroit woman sues city after being falsely arrested while pregnant due to facial recognition technology

“The warrant was appropriate based upon the facts,” it said.

Here's another fact: Facial recognition systems misidentify Black faces at a high rate. Facial recognition is less accurate in identifying people with darker skin tones—especially women. This can result in the misidentification of Black protesters or false positive matches in image databases.

Maybe they should only use it on white dudes.

"Detective Oliver stated in detail in her report what she observed in the video footage, and there was no mention of the female suspect being pregnant," the lawsuit says.

You would think this would be your first indication. You would think the victim would mention this as an identifying thing, "she was pregnant." You would think the detective would try to pull a recent photograph, or check cell phone records, or anything else to come to a more affirmative conclusion.

You would think, which seems the detective didn't do in this case.
