Detroit Police Department agrees to new rules around facial recognition tech
As part of a legal settlement, the Detroit Police Department has agreed to new guardrails limiting how it can use facial recognition technology. It also states that photo lineups cannot be conducted solely on the basis of facial recognition — instead, there must be additional evidence linking a suspect to the crime. The policies — which can be enforced by a court for the next four years — also require police training around the risks and dangers of facial recognition tech, and an audit of all cases since 2017 where facial recognition was used to obtain an arrest warrant.
