Pregnant Detroit woman sues city police over false arrest based on flawed facial recognition technology

Porsha Woodruff, who was eight months pregnant, was wrongfully arrested and held for 11 hours after facial recognition software mistakenly identified her.
This is the third known case of false arrest in Detroit due to errors in facial recognition technology, all involving Black individuals.
Woodruff's charges were dismissed due to lack of evidence, but she claims emotional distress and fears for her pregnancy.
Advocacy groups are calling for Detroit police to end use of facial recognition technology due to concerns over accuracy and civil liberties violations.
Woodruff's lawsuit alleges the technology is flawed, especially when identifying people of color, highlighting nationwide concerns.
