FBI sued over facial-recognition technology

The lawsuit filed against the FBI in Washington by the Electronic Privacy Information Center is asking for a court order that information about the program’s contracts with private companies and its technical specifications be made available. EPIC said that the NGI system upon completion “will be the largest biometric database in the world” and will include files of fingerprints, DNA profiles, iris scans, palm prints, voice identification profiles, photographs and other identifying information already collected by states, counties and even schools. EPIC followed up shortly later with Freedom of Information Act requests for details about the program’s contracts with private companies.

Criminal Injustice: The Best Reporting on Wrongful Convictions (#MuckReads)

In 1991, an unemployed printer named David Ranta was convicted of killing a Hasidic rabbi in Brooklyn. Last week, Ranta was released from the maximum-security prison in which he’d spent nearly 22 years, after almost every piece of evidence used to convict him fell away. The New York Times reported that the lead detectives on the case “broke rule after rule” — they “kept few written records, coached a witness and took Mr. Ranta’s confession under what a judge described as highly dubious circumstances.” Last Friday, just a day after he was released, Ranta suffered a serious heart attack. With Ranta’s case in mind, we’ve rounded up some of the best reporting on wrongful convictions. Are Memphis Prosecutors Trying to Send an Innocent Man Back to Death Row? Who Shot Valerie Finley?
