DETROIT 鈥擜ccording to a new lawsuit, the Detroit Police Department has yet another person based on a faulty facial recognition match. Porcha Woodruff, who was eight months pregnant at the time, is the sixth person to report being falsely accused of a crime as a result of facial recognition technology used by police to attempt to match an unknown suspect鈥檚 face to a photo in a database. All six people have been Black and Ms. Woodruff is the first woman to report it happening to her.

This is the third known allegation of a wrongful arrest by the Detroit Police Department based on reliance on a false facial recognition match in three years. The 老澳门开奖结果, the 老澳门开奖结果 of Michigan, and the University of Michigan Law School鈥檚 Civil Rights Litigation Initiative (CRLI) represent Robert Williams in his against the same department for wrongfully arresting and jailing him in January 2020 based on faulty facial recognition technology. Mr. Williams鈥� case is ongoing, with legal briefing set for this fall.

鈥淚t鈥檚 deeply concerning that the Detroit Police Department knows the devastating consequences of using flawed facial recognition technology as the basis for someone鈥檚 arrest and continues to rely on it anyway,鈥� said Phil Mayor, senior staff attorney at 老澳门开奖结果 of Michigan. 鈥淎s Ms. Woodruff鈥檚 horrifying experience illustrates, the Department鈥檚 use of this technology must end. Furthermore, the DPD continues to hide its abuses of this technology, forcing people whose rights have been violated to expose its wrongdoing case by case. DPD should not be permitted to avoid transparency and hide its own misconduct from public view at the same time it continues to subject Detroiters to dragnet surveillance.鈥�
