PEnns Unbelievable!! This woman needs some bad a$$ lawyer and sue the heck out of everybody involved: The Facial rec. company, the bank and the police. And the horses they rode on too!! Reply

abufrejoval She should count herself lucky: just standing close to false positives means you lose the abililty to complain in other parts of the world. Reply

This is how you solve this problem. Get her a multimillion dollar judgement and Fargo will be thinking twice about the value their facial recognition software is bringing them. Reply

I would certainly find a lawyer who would make a mint on suing the pants off of them as an example. I wouldn’t go for a $ amount, it would be a percentage of the company to actually hurt them. And if that’s against the law, I would challange that. The absolute lack of critical thinking and outright lazyness is disguisting, disgraceful, and embarassing. Reply

Ralston18 Lawsuits etc. aside, the real shame is with those who used facial recognition and immediately failed to investigate further (as detectives should do) or otherwise follow-up in some manner to determine if it all made sense. That failure is the root and the shame of it all. Overall, taking the report at face value, it narrows down to too many people simply not doing their jobs or doing their jobs properly. Mostly just common sense was needed….. There may eventually (years likely) be monetary settlements but the damage is done. People must be held fully accountable for their actions or lack of actions per situations and circumstances. It was not AI who locked the proverbial "cell and threw away the key". Reply

gamerk316 Welcome to America, where you are thrown in jail for months on end awaiting a hearing, despite literally all the evidence showing there's no way you could have committed the crime you are accused as. And you get out, and find out you lost your job, your house, and who knows what else, with little to no means of getting financial restitution. Reply
