#10Things I want to know:
- Show us the side-by-side images of the false-positives. Are the matches plausible?
- What is the demographic distribution of the mugshot database? If the data is disproportionately biased, then that bias would be reflected in the false-positives. A casual skimming of some mughot websites shows a potentially significant racial bias.
