Detroit woman suing police, claiming faulty facial recognition technology led to unjust arrest
Faulty use of facial recognition technology led to the unjust arrest of a Detroit woman, she said in a federal lawsuit, alleging that police failed to ask basic questions that could've cleared her on the spot.
LaDonna Crutchfield, 37, was at home with her children on Jan. 23, 2024, when police took her away in handcuffs and accused her of being their prime suspect in an attempted murder, according to a complaint filed last week in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

Crutchfield "was identified as a suspect by an unknown facial recognition database," the lawsuit said.

Trump supporters lose $12bn as president’s cryptocurrency coin collapses
Donald Trump’s supporters have lost more than $12bn (£9.5bn) in a month after the value of the president’s cryptocurrency collapsed.
$Trump, a so-called “meme coin” unveiled on Jan 17, three days before Mr Trump’s inauguration, has lost more than 80pc of its value since its peak on Jan 19.
This has led to its overall worth falling from a peak of $15bn to $2.7bn on Thursday, as it suffered amid a wider crypto rout.
The paper value of the coins owned by Mr Trump himself has also fallen by $50bn.
While Mr Trump’s own losses have not been crystallised, investors are on the hook after spending heavily to back the Trump coin in the run-up to his inauguration, partly as a show of support but also as a gamble that the token would rise in value.
