Black Detroit man spent a day in police custody after software connected his driver's license photo to surveillance of someone shoplifting

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.This February 2020 photo provided by the American Civil Liberties Union shows Robert Williams of Farmington Hills, Mich., a suburb of Detroit. Wrongfully arrested when facial recognition technology mistakenly identified him as a suspected shoplifter, he wants Detroit police to apologize and to end their use of the controversial technology.

Separate guidelines from Michigan State Police, which assisted Detroit authorities, and Rank One say a facial recognition result should not be used as the basis for an arrest. Police lacked corroborating evidence before arresting Williams, Wayne County prosecutor Kym Worthy said. Detroit police declined to comment on Williams’ case, but it now limits facial recognition use to violent crimes and home invasions.
