Robert Williams spent over a day in custody in January after face recognition software connected his driver's licence photo to surveillance video of someone shoplifting, the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan said in the complaint. In a video shared by the ACLU, Williams says officers released him after acknowledging “the computer” must have been wrong.
“This case should not have been issued based on the investigation, and for that we apologise,” Worthy said in a statement, adding “this does not in any way make up for the hours that Mr. Williams spent in jail.” The ACLU complaint requests Detroit police stop using facial recognition altogether “as the facts of Mr Williams' case prove both that the technology is flawed and that investigators are not competent in making use of such technology.”
