I always see these posts and want to comment but then I look which community I'm in and think 'all these motherfuckers know already'... Anywho, fuck those fucking pig bastards!

All it took was one day of being arrested for her to get fired but I bet the jackasses who did this won't see a single negative consequence.

I hope they didn't just use facial recognition software for identifying the suspect, the software may well be unreliable because of the skin colour.

If the officers also used camera images to verify it was her she either has a long lost twin or cops may well be unreliable because of the skin colour.

Cops are 100% unreliable based on skin color

Surveillance video is often too poor to really identify someone. Of course if that’s the excuse, how did they make a “positive id”?

And quality enhancement is just adding more noise to the recognition software

No it still relies on the software to verify if it is her which is a black box.

Seems they never fixed that issue, since it's been going since the Nintendo 3ds was released.
