Law Enforcement Facial Recognition

NYPD: This Man Tried To Use Chelsea Murder Victim's ATM (Gothamist)


"Earlier Monday, police questioned a 24-year-old man but released him after interviewing him. Law-enforcement sources told NBC New York that they were led to the man after using facial recognition software on a still photo taken from a surveillance camera. The search turned up a possible hit -- an old mugshot for the 24-year-old man."
Because sometimes the only clue is a face.
