any defence lawyer with more than 3 brain cells would have an absolute field day deconstructing a case brought solely on the basis of a facial recognition. What happened to the idea that police need to gather a variety of evidence confirming their suspicions before an arrest is issued. Even a state prosecutor wouldn't authorize a warrant based on such flimsy methods.

True but the defendant is still financially, and in many cases professionally, ruined.

Getting a layer that would advise beyond pleading guilty for a reduced sentence is not a default option.
