The police have portable scanners that they can just drive down the street and scan everybody,they use it at riots and rallies.

China is setting up a system that can track every one of its 1.4 billion citizens.

Bail bondmen devolved a facial recognition program that excesses every camera connected to the internet,including your phone.

The cameras and scanners have been their for years,why would they need to target black homeless in order to develop them when they can just drive down the street and test everybody?

Its a system that scans multiple points in ones face,it does not care what color you are or what race,unless Tlaib is saying all blacks look alike so the system has a hard time identifying?
There are a lot of articles out there about how error prone facial recognition is, and how the error rate increases for darker skinned people. A quick Google search will enlighten you on the issue. Some programs are designed in such a way that they cannot even be calibrated to recognize light skinned and dark skinned people at the same rates. Stupid engineering blunders like that happen when the designers bake their own world view into the product.

An example of this is how women and children were more prone to being killed by airbags in the 1990s, because airbags were mostly designed to protect grown men. So, it's not a deliberately racist thing, but it's just fact that these programs were not written with an emphasis on darker skinned people.
