After a man filed a lawsuit against Sunglasses Hut and Macy’s after he says he was wrongfully arrested and jailed in Harris County due to faulty facial recognition technology, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said the department will examine how their investigation was conducted.

Microsoft said Thursday it will not sell facial recognition technology to police departments in the United States, at least until there is a federal law to regulate the technology. Microsoft president Brad Smith said any legislation on facial recognition should be firmly grounded in human rights. Studies have shown that commercial facial recognition algorithms frequently misidentify minorities and people of color. The company said Wednesday it will put a one-year hold on sales of its facial recognition technology to law enforcement, in hopes of giving Congress time to "implement appropriate rules." This is not the first time Microsoft has called for comprehensive facial recognition rules.
