In Texas, a man has sued Macy’s department store and Sunglass Hut after facial recognition technology falsely identified him as a robber, leading to his imprisonment and sexual assault while in detention. Sixty-one-year-old Harvey Murphy Jr. was jailed for two weeks before being released after authorities confirmed he was not even in the state of Texas when the robberies occurred at a Houston Sunglass Hut and Macy’s store. Murphy’s lawyers say he was raped by three prisoners while in jail.
