Wait. They could before??? wtf
It’s insane that false arrests had to be made before the law was changed considering that experts have been very clear about the potential dangers of relying on facial recognition alone.
The thing is, police and politicians don’t care about getting correct results, they only care about results. An innocent person convicted is still “case closed” and “another criminal punished.”
Politicians can be made to care by threatening their jobs, but the police still don’t give a shit about catching the right person as long as they can put somebody behind bars by any means possible.
I’m their view, the experts are part of the problem and should be ignored.
There’s a lot of issues with forensics sciences that send a lot of innocent people to jail.
“Sole basis.” Meaning this inherently flawed technology can still be used.
So… parallel reconstruction gets another workout.
