The freshman Democrat has accepted an offer from Detroit Police Chief James Craig to visit the department and learn more about how it uses facial recognition software to catch violent criminals.

Craig found Tlaib's initial Twitter remarks to be"disrespectful" to victims' family members because without the software, he explained, it could deny investigators the opportunity to bring a killer to justice.

Whether or not Tlaib's claims should be considered politically motivated, Craig said he'd leave that conclusion up to Detroit residents. In her opposition to police using facial recognition software, Tlaib said"residents are very concerned" because of certain flaws. Critics have pointed to the fact that facial recognition systems more frequently misidentify people with darker skin, or minorities, and who've aged over time.

"We don't refute any assertion — again, this technology, if you just turn the technology on, and you put a picture in, and it's not high-quality pictures, more times than not, it's going to misidentify," he said, elaborating that the software provides them with several potential matches that analysts have the ability to look through.

Newsom signs 'Stephon Clark's Law,' setting new rules on police use of forceThe new language will require that law enforcement use deadly force only when “necessary,” instead of the current wording of when it is “reasonable.” I hope it isn't always 'necessary.' If I was a cop I would just let everyone go. Seems like that’s what Sacramento wants. Now if morons can just follow simple instructions from the police all will be well. Too bad they won’t....
