Texas grandfather was wrongly ID'd as Sunglass Hut robber by facial recognition technology and GANG-RAPED after being jailed for crime that took place while he was in California, lawsuit claims

Murphy, a grandfather who grew up in Texas, was in Sacramento, California when two armed men stormed into the Sunglass Hut on West Gray in Houston.

uring the investigation, officers received a call from Anthony Pfleger, the head of loss prevention for EssilorLuxottica. Pfleger said he worked with Macy’s loss prevention to determine that the person who robbed the store was Murphy.

'Using artificial intelligence and facial recognition software, EssilorLuxottica and Macy’s took the video from the robbery and determined that Murphy was the robber,' the lawsuit states. 'The video was recorded by Kimco’s poor low-quality cameras.'

If this is actual true, I see a case for a substantial lawsuit.

Easily.

“tell it to the judge”.

“we have a warrant for your arrest”.

“stop resisting”

End qualified immunity. Dissolve unnecessary small town and village PD’s. That’s a good start.

Getting a warrant is pretty easy, depending upon the jurisdiction. Therein lies the problem.

Regardless, if you have a warrant and you’re identified by authorities, you are taken into custody. “Arrested.”

It’s a perversion of the system and you can directly fault the malpractice exercised by prosecutors’ offices for the travesty of ‘justice’ (i.e., “innocent until proven guilty”).

Besides: Houston is a cesspool, both civilian and otherwise (I know: I have insider info).

Murphy, a grandfather who grew up in Texas, is soon to become a millionaire.

LuxilorExotica or whatever the Sunglass Hut parent company is and Macy’s did the investigation. Their software database had official mugshots. Houston PD followed up on the lead LuxEx/Macy’s gave them, as in doing a photo lineup with a store employee. Did Houston PD do any further investigation?

'Their software database had official mugshots. '

That was in the 1980's for this guy. Good luck with that one.

The fact that men can get raped/gang raped in jail is another hideous crime. Correction institutions are not supposed to be rape parlors. Correction officers allowing this need to be arrested themselves.
