The best algorithm that NIST tested had a 0.01% false positive rate and it was uniform across races.
Consider an airport like Heathrow, which uses facial recognition widely. 220,000 people travel through heathrow per day. With a 0.01% false positive rate, you are falsely flagging 22 people per day.
You can not rely on facial recognition to jail people.
