\n A 42-year-old black man was wrongfully arrested in Detroit as a result of a facial recognition software mistake, activists claimed.<\/p>\n

Robert Williams was detained in front of his wife and their daughters, ages 2 and 5, in January after the software linked him to grainy surveillance video of a shoplifting suspect, according to a complaint filed Wednesday to police.<\/p>\n

His driver\u2019s license photo \u2014 which was kept in a statewide image repository \u2014 app<\/a>arently came up as a match for a black man wearing a St. Louis Cardinals cap who snatched $3,800 worth of watches from a Shinola store in October 2018.<\/p>\n

The match was conducted through the Michigan state police\u2019s digital image analysis section, which has been using face-matching service from Rank One Computing.<\/p>\n

Detectives then showed a six-photo line-up to a loss prevention worker from the watch store \u2014 and the employee positively identified Williams, a police report said.<\/p>\n

Officers called Williams, an automotive worker, while he was at work and asked him to come down to the police department.<\/p>\n

But Williams said he thought it was a prank phone call.<\/p>\n

They soon arrived at his house in the suburb of Farmington Hills and took him away in handcuffs, leaving his daughters weeping, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t really even put it into words,\u201d Williams said in a video describing the arrest. \u201cIt was one of the most shocking things that I ever had happen to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear whether the police had any additional evidence before arresting him.<\/p>\n

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan, which filed the complaint, said Williams was detained overnight, and an officer acknowledged the next day that \u201cthe computer\u201d must have made a mistake.<\/p>\n

During an interrogation, \u201cthe investigating officer looked confused, told Mr. Williams that the computer said it was him but then acknowledged that \u2018the computer must have gotten it wrong,\u2019\u201d the ACLU complaint said.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors later dismissed the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis case should not have been issued based on the DPD investigation, and for that we apologize,\u201d Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a statement. \u201cThankfully, it was dismissed on our office\u2019s own motion. This does not in any way make up for the hours that Mr. Williams spent in jail.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ACLU has requested that the force stop using facial recognition \u201cas the facts of Mr. Williams\u2019 case prove both that the technology<\/a> is flawed and that investigators are not competent in making use of such technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Detroit police and Rank One didn\u2019t respond to requests for comment, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if Rank One performs well, that didn\u2019t help Mr. Williams here and Rank One should take responsibility,\u201d said attorney Jacob Snow, who represents the ACLU of Northern California.<\/p>\n
