The Legal Aid Society slammed the New York City Police Department’s (NYPD) facial recognition policy, which will most likely still disproportionately impact New Yorkers of color, reports AM New York. Facial recognition has attracted criticism throughout the country for its fallibility to the point where other jurisdictions have banned its use by law enforcement outright.

“The policy does nothing to change the documented biases present in the use of facial recognition systems, particularly against people of color, women, young people, and transgender people. The NYPD also failed to address their use of photo manipulation such as adding eyes and mouths from unrelated photographs to the images they are submitting to their system, which increases the likelihood of an inaccurate possible match candidate,” said Jerome Greco, Supervising Attorney of the Digital Forensics Unit at The Legal Aid Society.
