| NYPD’s facial recognition software ID’ed subway rice cooker kook |
| 2019-08-26 |
| [NYPOST] NYPD detectives identified the mystery man who sparked terror by leaving a pair of rice cookers in a subway long before their bomb-squad counterparts even realized the devices were harmless ‐ thanks to controversial face-scanning technology. It was about 7:15 a.m. on Aug. 16 when police began receiving reports of the suspicious devices in the Fulton Street subway station. Cops were unsure whether the devices were some slob’s garbage or part of a terror plot akin to that of 2016 Chelsea bomber Ahmad Rahami, and the station was cleared out as a precaution. But within minutes, Det. Marcello Gianquinto ‐ one of 10 detectives in the NYPD’s Facial Identification Section ‐ had pulled still images of a suspect from subway security footage, color-corrected the snaps and was using a computer system to compare them to mug shots in the NYPD’s arrest database. |

| #1 Exactly how it should work. Wish that idiot Tlaib would spend some time with actual cops learning what they do each day. |
