JPSO used facial recognition technology to arrest a man. The tech was wrong.

But a recent attempt by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office to nab a high-end purse thief via facial recognition ended badly for a Georgia man who was jailed for almost a week over a false match, his lawyer says.
A detective took the algorithm at face value to secure a warrant to arrest Randal Reid, 28, in the June theft of luxury purses from a Metairie consignment shop, attorney Tommy Calogero said.
A Baton Rouge Police Department detective then adopted JPSO’s identification of Reid to secure an arrest warrant alleging he was among three men involved in another luxury purse theft the same week at a shop on Jefferson Highway, court records show.
quote:
Local police pulled over Reid on Nov. 25 as he drove on Interstate 20 in Dekalb County, Georgia, headed to a late Thanksgiving celebration with his mother, he said.
“They told me I had a warrant out of Jefferson Parish. I said, ‘What is Jefferson Parish?,’” Reid said. “I have never been to Louisiana a day in my life. Then they told me it was for theft. So not only have I not been to Louisiana, I also don’t steal.”
Reid was booked into the DeKalb County jail as a fugitive but was let go on Dec. 1, a jail official said. Calogero said JPSO detectives “tacitly” admitted the error and rescinded the July warrant.
quote:
Sheriff Joe Lopinto’s office did not respond to several requests for information on Reid’s arrest and release, the agency’s use of facial recognition or any safeguards around it.

Baton Rouge police also did not respond to questions about its warrant for Reid’s arrest.

If that were me, I’d be figuring out how to break it off in those folks. He was effectively kidnapped and held with no evidence whatsoever.
I think there are some pretty serious fourth amendment issues here.

The problem is that if there were actual consequences for this, the police would make dang sure they had it right before arresting the guy.
But the city pay out lots of money and the guy will sign a non disclosure for the check and it will all just go away

A major rework of qualified immunity for government agencies should be an easy bipartisan issue.

My question is, how does that case get so many resources thrown at it? two different states and multiple agencies?
Then, cases like the girl that got murdered at the train tracks in Baton Rouge, seem to linger and linger

So is the lesson here that AI thinks black people look alike?

Going to be a pricey mistake fir multiple agency’s.

The JP's "facial recognition technology" is probably a 400lb guy named Ronnie looking at some photos and saying "Yeah brah dem 2 doods lookalike."

And rightfully so.
Facial recognition should be used only for "take a closer look at this person". Or not at all.

That's the problem. Just taxpayer money.
Start taking it out of the police pension fund and this kind of thing will stop.

You also have prosecutors and judges just signing off on arrest warrants without really looking at them

Was thinking the exact same thing. Why would two independent agencies be working together to catch purse thieves. Lol. Who gives a frick?

Nothing wrong with cooperation between agencies. And if they hit multiple areas then they are potentially organized and should be stopped as you can’t just let shoplifting rings run rampant
