Facial recognition by law enforcement should be banned.

Well it does have its place. DoD and DHS has a human verify after the system certified the match. After the human “touch”, is when mistakes like this do not occur. What needs to happen is follow what DoD and CBP have created to verify so called matches to reduce the impact against blacks.
