If it's statistically proven to not work with black people then I think the only options are

1) Make it avoid black people, i.e. they aren't stored in the database and aren't processed when scanned.

2) Put a 5 year hiatus on commercial / public use.

Either of these things are more acceptable than too many false positives. #1 is really interesting to me as a thought experiment because it makes everyone think twice.

The issue is that it's hard to determine who is considered "black" and who is not since race is a made-up fiction constructed by white supremacists that is now so engrained in American society we find it difficult if not impossible to reflect on it. Are we using the Fitzpatrick skin color scale? Are we continuing the hypodescent rule (an algorithm, btw)?

Maybe we just outlaw face recognition in criminal justice entirely.
