A Georgia man was arrested on a fugitive warrant after facial recognition technology mistakenly linked him to the theft of luxurious purses in a state he’d not been to.

Randall Reid, 28, was arrested in DeKalb County, Georgia after law enforcement officials followed their facial recognition technology matches, which ended up being wrong.

“They told me I had a warrant out of Jefferson Parish. I said, ‘What is Jefferson Parish?'” Reid said.

I wish this would happen to me.

I would enjoy the money I’d receive from the lawsuit.

FYI... the TSA types are planning to use facial recognition “technology” at America’s airports. Oh joy!

So the guy spends 5 days in Jail because of a faulty system, that seems to be prejudiced against black skinned people.

What recourse does the victim have to get back that 5 days, and the arrest off his record?

They're using it right now. Clear will let you skip the ID line at TSA Pre-Check if you let them scan your face and eyes.

Some low-paid idiot somewhere put some guy’s unpaid speeding ticket on my credit report years ago.

It happened in Arizona. I was actually there that year but never got pulled over for speeding.

I went from the airport to my hotel. To Camelback to visit Planet Hollywood and eat. Same with Hard Rock. Bought some BBQ sauce native to Phoenix. And a bag from Venture - yeah mid-1990s.

Are you so sure the courts would give you the settlement that you desired?

Good. Anything that makes the tyrant stuff look bad (to anyone) is helpful.

This is inevitable and will happen more and more as the formerly free countries adopt monitoring technology. A match on a system like this is not probable cause.

The individual must always give way to the collectivity. The burocrats will claim they’re keeping us safe. We didn’t stop them at the “patriot act” so they became more intrusive.

See? Even the facial recognition cameras are racist and think ‘they’ all look alike. :O
