> and the detectives then put the photo of this man into a "6 pack" photo line-up, from which a store employee then identified that man as being the suspect.
This is absurdly dangerously. The AI will find people who look like the suspect, that’s how the technology works. A lineup as evidence will almost guarantee a bad outcome, because of course the man looks like the suspect!
The worse part is that the employee wasn't a witness to anything. He was making the "ID" from the same video the police had.
I'm also half guessing if the "lineup" was 5 White people and the a photo of the victim.
