Basically: Need more that facial recognition as evidence, due to numerous false positives with facial biometrics ( Bruce Schneier has covered this topic numerous times... too many people look alike... Schneier on Security )
Police arrested wrong man based on facial recognition fail, ACLU says
Complaint alleges police said, “the computer got it wrong,” but arrested anyway.

Civil rights activists have filed an official complaint against the Detroit police, alleging the department arrested the wrong man based on a faulty and incorrect match provided by facial recognition software—the first known complaint of this kind.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed the complaint (PDF) Wednesday on behalf of Robert Williams, a Michigan man who was arrested in January based on a false positive generated by facial recognition software. "At every step, DPD's conduct has been improper," the complaint alleges. "It unthinkingly relied on flawed and racist facial recognition technology without taking reasonable measures to verify the information being provided" as part of a "shoddy and incomplete investigation."
