Facial recognition used to accuse person of shoplifting

A British supermarket accused a customer of shoplifting based on a reported face recognition match — in fact, it had accused the wrong person — and then demanded he run nonfree software to clear his name.

That was successful, since the database had no record of his face. But if that error had happened to me, since I would not run that nonfree software, I think would have not been able to clear my name.
