North Dakota police used AI to match her face to video of a woman who used fake military ID to withdraw large amounts of money from 3 banks in ND and MN. She was arrested in Tennessee (for some reaosn, by US Marshals even though this was a state case), based on a warrant issued by a ND who found the AI match to be probable cause. She refused extradition so it was months before she was finally taken to ND. There she had a PD who found bank records confirmed she was in Tennessee the whole time (woman had never flown in a plane before). Then she was released, by then it was December, she had no winter clothing or money. Her lawyer and a local nonprofit helped her get a hotel room for one night and transportation back to Tennessee.

Apparently they used the bank images--none of which are full front face images--to look for possible matches among millions of photos from drivers licenses, social media, etc and came up with this woman. No further investigation was conducted.  [/quote]
