I don't think using the facial recognition is necessarily wrong to help identify probable suspects, but arresting someone based on a facial match algorithm is definitely going too far.

Of course really I blame the AI/ML hucksters for part of this mess who have sold us the idea of machines replacing rather than augmenting human decision making.

Yeah, facial recognition can be useful in law enforcement, as long as it's used responsibly. There was a man who shot people at a newspaper where I lived, and when apprehended, he refused to identify himself, and apparently their fingerprint machine wasn't working, so they used facial recognition to identify him.
