A big biometric security company in the UK, Facewatch, is in hot water after their facial recognition system caused a major snafu - the system wrongly identified a 19-year-old girl as a shoplifter.

As an American, I don’t know what opinion to have about this without knowing the woman’s race.
If she’s been flagged as shoplifter she’s probably black!
Why, because all shoplifters are black? I don’t understand. She’s being mistaken for another person, a real person on the system.
I used to know a smackhead that would steal things to order, I wonder if he’s still alive and whether he’s on this database. Never bought anything off him but I did buy him a drink occasionally. He’d had a bit of a difficult childhood.
All the ones that get caught. When you’re white, you can steal whatever you want.
