Detroit Settles for $300,000 Over Wrongful Arrest of Robert Williams Due to Facial Recognition Error
Jun 29, 2024, 09:15 AM
The city of Detroit has reached a settlement with the Detroit Police Department over the wrongful arrest of Robert Williams, who was misidentified by facial recognition technology in 2020 for a shoplifting crime he did not commit. The arrest occurred in front of his wife and two young daughters. The settlement includes a payment of $300,000 to Williams and the implementation of new rules governing the use of facial recognition technology by the police. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has indicated that these new rules should be considered a national standard. This settlement follows other wrongful arrests by the Detroit Police Department due to incorrect facial recognition matches.
