"Porcha Woodruff — a mother from Detroit, Michigan — became the first woman to report that police falsely identified her as a suspect using faulty facial recognition, The New York Times reported."
As explained in the NYTimes article (yet omitted by BI), the victim picked her photo out of a line-up.
"Five days after the carjacking, the police report said, the detective assigned to the case asked the victim to look at the mug shots of six Black women, commonly called a “six-pack photo lineup.” Ms. Woodruff’s photo was among them. He identified Ms. Woodruff as the woman he had been with. That was the basis for her arrest, according to the police report."
It was facial recognition tech of some sort that put her into the six-pack:
"The ordeal started with an automated facial recognition search, according to an investigator’s report from the Detroit Police Department."
"A detective with the police department’s commercial auto theft unit got the surveillance video from the BP gas station, the police report said, and asked a crime analyst at the department to run a facial recognition search on the woman."

To put this on facial recognition is dishonest.
