Man mistaken for shoplifter sues police
DETROIT (AP) — A Black man arrested when facial recognition technology mistakenly identified him as a suspected shoplifter has sued Detroit police.
“This never should have happened, and I want to make sure that this painful experience never happens to anyone else,” said Robert Williams of Farmington Hills.
The Associated Press reported on Williams’ arrest last year. He said his Michigan driver license photo was flagged as a likely match to a shoplifting suspect.
Investigators had scanned grainy surveillance camera footage of a 2018 theft inside a Shinola watch store in midtown Detroit.
Detroit detectives showed a photo lineup to a Shinola employee, who positively identified Williams.
Williams spent 30 hours in an overcrowded detention center. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy subsequently dropped the case and apologized.
