Title
Cops Used DNA to Predict a Suspect’s Face—and Tried to Run Facial Recognition on It
Abstract
Police around the US say they're justified to run DNA-generated 3D models of faces through facial recognition tools to help crack cold cases. Everyone but the cops thinks that’s a bad idea, a privacy breach. Without oversight, law enforcement is now able to mix and match technologies in unintended ways, using untested algorithms to predict what a person could look given genetic attributes found in the DNA sample and single out suspects based on unknowable criteria.
