Louisiana and other US states are implementing guardrails for police use of facial recognition technology following multiple wrongful arrest cases. As of February 2025, at least seven people have been falsely arrested after facial recognition misidentification, with six of the seven being Black individuals. Michigan’s Detroit Police Department has raised standards for using facial recognition in criminal investigations following lawsuits. The Supreme Court of Virginia ruled in 2018 that data collected from automated license plate readers can constitute personal information, requiring additional privacy protections.
