Facial Recognition Error Reportedly Leads to Wrongful Arrest of Georgia Man and $200K Settlement in Louisiana
2022-11-25
In November 2022, Randal "Quran" Reid was arrested in Georgia based on warrants from Louisiana that reportedly stemmed from a purportedly faulty facial recognition match using Clearview AI. Despite reportedly having never visited Louisiana, Reid was jailed for six days before authorities withdrew the warrants. No corroborating evidence had been gathered, and the technology's use was omitted from legal documents. In May 2025, Jefferson Parish settled with Reid for $200,000 in a federal civil rights lawsuit.
