Black man wrongfully arrested in DeKalb County, Georgia due to facial recognition tech: lawsuit

DeKALB COUNTY, Ga. -- A Black man was wrongfully arrested and held for nearly a week in jail because of the alleged misuse of facial recognition technology, according to a civil lawsuit filed against the arresting police officers.

Randal Quran Reid, 29, was driving to his mother's home outside of Atlanta the day after Thanksgiving when police pulled him over, according to Reid.

"They told me that I had a warrant out of Jefferson Parish. I asked, 'Where's Jefferson Parish?' because I had never heard of that county," Reid told ABC News. "And then they told me it was in Louisiana. Then I was confused because I had never been to Louisiana."

The DeKalb County, Georgia police officers who pulled Reid over were in possession of two warrants issued by Jefferson and East Baton Rouge Parishes in Louisiana for Reid's arrest, according to a lawsuit filed by Reid for an unspecified amount. He was then taken to a DeKalb County jail to await extradition to Louisiana, according to Reid.

"I asked them why was I being locked up," Reid said. "'What is it [the warrant] even saying that I did?' And then they just kept telling me that it was out of their jurisdiction and they didn't really know."

Officers of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office used facial recognition technology to identify Reid as a suspect who was wanted for using stolen credit cards to buy approximately $15,000 worth of designer purses in Jefferson and East Baton Rouge Parishes, according to the complaint filed by Reid.

"[The facial recognition technology] spit out three names: Quran plus two individuals," Gary Andrews, Reid's lawyer and senior attorney at The Cochran Firm in Atlanta, told ABC News. "It is our belief that the detective in this case took those names ... and just sought arrest warrants without doing any other investigation, without doing anything else to determine whether or not Quran was actually the individual that was in the store video."

The individuals named as defendants in the complaint are Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office (JPSO) deputy Andrew Bartholomew and JPSO Sheriff Joseph P. Lopinto III.

Bartholomew did not immediately return ABC News' request for comment. Lopinto told ABC News, "The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office cannot make a statement at this time because the case is currently in litigation."

Every state in the country has police departments that use facial recognition technology in their investigative work, according to Nate Freed Wessler, Deputy Director of the Speech, Privacy and Technology Project at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The ACLU doesn't have an exact count of how many police departments use the technology because many of them use it in secrecy, according to Wessler.

"Part of the problem with this technology is that the public lacks good information about how it's actually being used," Wessler told ABC News. "It's often used in tremendous secrecy by police. And we know that it often misidentifies people, which has led to wrongful arrests in six known cases [around the country] but probably more cases than that."

According to Wessler, all known cases of false arrests due to facial recognition technology were of Black or African American people.

Reid was held in a DeKalb County prison for six days as his parents and lawyers scrambled to find a way to clear his name before his extradition to Louisiana, Reid said. After his lawyers sent multiple pictures of Reid to JPSO for them to realize that they had the wrong person in detainment, his warrants were thrown out and he was finally released, Andrews told ABC News.

According to the complaint, Reid's lawyers believe that JPSO uses facial recognition technology by Clearview AI, Inc.

"More than one million searches have been conducted using Clearview AI. One false arrest is one too many, and we have tremendous empathy for the person who was wrongfully accused," Hoan Ton-That, Clearview AI CEO, told ABC News in a statement. "Even if Clearview AI came up with the initial result, that is the beginning of the investigation by law enforcement to determine, based on other factors, whether the correct person has been identified."

Clearview AI would not confirm with ABC News if JPSO uses its technology.

"There's always risk when you go to jail, but I felt more in danger when I was being detained because I know it was for something I didn't do," Reid said. "I lost faith in the justice system to know that you could be locked up for something that you've never done."

Playboy, September 1987

Murdoch and Musk. They knew it wasn't about the baseball. Two of the world's most powerful men.

An off the record conversation.

This is what elites conspiring looks like, and it's a little sad and pathetic, frankly. I hope Murdoch was coaching the young idiot. I hope Murdoch referred to Musk as "son." I hope Musk had the good sense to take that affectation.

Musk is like way fricked up because he understands that the media empire is power but he doesn't know what makes a media empire powerful so he's just lurching around. He thinks he can steer american politics but he is simply yanked around by it.

[dead] Most men live lives of quiet desperation, but I'm not one of them

There's a lot of ways to give meaning to life. You can get married, have pets, get the job of your dreams, you fill your time with cheap dopamine, you can have many acquaintances you call friends who are just as average as you - that should feel familiar enough to know you are enough.

But to find true meaning you have to know the real you. I have many traits, many masks. The mask of fear, the one of smarts, the mask of joy, but in the rare glimpses where I can be the real me, I am a dreamer, I can build realities in my head and believe in them with all my heart without ever knowing if they will be real. I can imagine worlds and even see them, I can live 1000 lives in my head, and I have, but how can the real me in a dream world? Conventional wisdom doesn't interest me, nor conventional pathways in life. I always believed I was a teenager rebelling against his parents, a poor boy trying to be rich or at least make enough money to buy new shoes, never knowing that that's the real me. I don't quit. I don't give up. When I set my mind to it, I make it happen. What I haven't realized is that the power of the universe is infinite and all anyone has to do is feel, understand and dream. That and work your butt off. There's a famous saying: millionaires don't believe in astrology, only billionaires do. I want to be me more than I want to be rich, because once that happens, peace will follow.

I have a very important interview tomorrow and I practiced with a friend, asked around, prepared, I did prepare. I prepared more than I usually do, that's how I know I'll get it. But something was missing. When talking about the team I automatically thought that I have no achievements and my employees do. So I put some phases in CHATGPT to see what it comes up with. It was pretty good, but the word that kept repeating was “nonconventional”.

And I am. After a lot of preparation, thinking about the go to market and whatnot I almost forgot the most important: be me. I'm a maverick, a square peg in a round hole, I'll never fit in, and why would I? The moment I'm close to fitting in I get bored because I'm an infinite learner fascinated by human behavior. At every party I have fun because I observe people, it's like a TV show. I look through the eyes of my persona and see how people see me, but when I look into the eyes of my persona it is hard to understand my achievements because all that matters is the next one and while biggest one hasn't happened yet: being myself.

Funny that I said "every party". I don't go to parties because I'm not invited. I'm not invited because I don't answer people when they call, I don't text back or when I do text I just say "ok".

Is a person defined by the actions they take, the feelings they feel, the words they say, the lives they live, personality traits? The problem with finding the real me is what makes up a "me".

For me, a person is defined by their actions so can I define myself by my actions? Most men live lives of quiet desperation, but I'm not one of them. I am chasing my dream, I prolonged the chase so I didn't reach the goal because the goal was always to be myself and there's nothing more scary. Until now. Regardless of the interview, I will be me, the real me and more than enough to succeed.

Have a sense of humor people

I'm a fan of the proposed change (as someone who feeds themselves off patents and patent litigation). Do I occasionally do a little patent -ing? Perhaps. But generally speaking IPRs are absolute aids to deal with and serve just as much as a kick in the balls to smaller inventors as patent trolls themselves.

Limiting them to parties that are actually of interest, will not only make the process less of a pain, but also generate a lot of . As such the dramatic thing to do is to support this with all my heart.
