Retailers increasingly are using facial recognition software to patrol their stores for shoplifters and other unwanted customers. But the technology’s accuracy is highly dependent on technical factors — the cameras’ video quality, a store’s lighting, the size of its face database — and a mismatch can lead to dangerous results.

That dude deserves a payday at the very least. Facial recognition isn’t reliable yet. And even when it is that shit should still be illegal to use as the sole justification in arrests.
