The issue highlighted in this article is that it seems that police deemed facial recognition as reliable as DNA so that if the computer says it's that person then they are already guilty.
This is a simple issue that could be easily solved by making sure that facial recognition should be treated as a very good lead but not as a smoking gun, so that the police approaches "suspects" more neutrally before deciding whether to arrest them.
