It’s a good thing that a jury of your peers is required to convict you.


In their case that would be a jury of criminals.

The nature of the evidence is irrelevant! It’s the seriousness of the charge that counts!

In real life, the software would not be used in court. It would be used to create a list of suspects worth checking on.

That’s because dark people are dark - facial recognition breaks your face down into a matrix, and uses certain functions that give another matrix of changes in brightness / color as you go across the image. (Like how an acceleration graph is a derivation of speed over time, and speed is a derivation of distance over time.) Dark people don’t have much shadow as you go across the face, the skin is already dark so it’s difficult to establish markers to make those comparisons with.
