That won't stop you getting hauled off and treated like shit and generally put through the mincer until they realise that the facial "recognition" was incorrect and you are not actually on the most wanted terrorist list they let you out of the holding cell...

Perhaps not, but the same thing can happen if a mistaken person identifies you. In fact, computers are already more reliable than people at identifying individuals. Mistaken identities are tremendous problems with the reliability of criminal convictions. You can dissect an algorithm but not a person’s mind.
