Yup, I'd love to know the name of that wonderful software and the company that made it.
Also I'd love to know the names of the judge, prosecutor, and investigator who put a man in jail simply because a man from the store told them to.

The judge did it because the prosecution said he did.
The prosecution brought charges because the police said it was him.
The police arrested him because the corporation said it was him.
The corporation said it was him because the software said it was him.
The software said it was him because it was SHIT.
No, there is a need.
We know what happened and why.
We also need to know who all these people were, because all of them failed at their jobs.
The last person in the chain using a shitty tool doesn't excuse anyone else. The store employee could've consulted astrological charts FFS, the use astrology wouldn't be the problem in this scenario.
Because otherwise it looks like some people are reacting to a headline and a vague statement (possibly morphed through the telephone game of reporting) claiming how one piece of how the outcome happened, and are ready to extrapolate from that, and be judge, jury, and executioner.
Which would seem ironic: making much the same error themselves that they believe they're correcting in someone else.
It reported a 90% chance that this was not the suspect when asked to compare photos. Yet the company decided 10% possibility of being correct was good enough for them to report to the police that it’s definitely this guy.
Best not to feed Internet pitchfork villagers, who have shown countless times that they're collectively dumb as snot, with no sense of process, critical thinking, nor decency.
I'd think the identities of public servants isn't really relevant at this point, but rather, what was the evidence and chronology.
As techies, we're best suited to tackle some of the evidence around tech, like what was the tech, how does it work, how was it represented, how was it used, what did it do, etc.
Go ahead then...
