A Flawed Facial-Recognition System Sent This Man to Jail

"Michigan State Police used facial-recognition software to compare surveillance footage from the theft to a state database of 49 million images, including Williams’ driver’s license photo.

Police around the US have also used social media photos, witness sketches, even 3D renderings to match against crime scene photos."
