Buddy, I wish they were going to pay this guy off. They’re going to hire $450 an hour lawyers and grind this guy into nothing with electronic discovery and paperwork until he takes a $10,000 settlement.
Why is a private entity able to use facial recognition software in the first place. I know doesn’t have the equivilant of GDPR, but surely it has some level of privacy laws?
Why did the police think that was sufficient evidence to jail someone, especially when there wasn’t any further collaborating evidence.

Absolutely horrifying, but not surprising. This kind of shit is exactly what we were worried about when facial recognition tech started to take off.
They will pay him off and keep doing it.
Write it off as a business expense.

They had collaborating evidence, they used a photo lineup on the clerk who was robbed at gunpoint and the clerk picked him out as the perp.
But then the problem becomes eyewitness testimony and possible manipulation of lineup photos by the cops.
