Apple sued by teen wrongly accused of shoplifting by unreliable facial-rec tech
If I understand the story correctly, they had the suspect in custody and yet failed to positively ID him, relying on an ID he had stolen from an innocent man named Ousmane Bah.  The ID had no photo and was labeled "not to be used for identification".  SIS filed a police report which said they had video evidence showing the perpetrator.<p>They then put out a "BOLO" with the innocent man's name, had him arrested, figured out they have the wrong guy, do nothing about it and had him arrested again.<p>When Bah appeared in court to answer charges and Apple was asked to present the video that would have cleared Bah, Apple claimed that the video had been deleted.  The video was later found by Bah's attorney during discovery.  This happened more than once.  A warrant was issued for Bah’s arrest and contained the photo of the imposter.  Bah was arrested even though the he doesn't resemble the imposter, other than being Black.  Prosecution against Bah continued in multiple states through June 2019.<p>Hmmm, seems like a lot of people involved in this case should be fired, including the Apple Employees, SIS Employees and Police officers, reguardless of whatever other outcomes there are.
