With how trigger happy police are, the false positives would lead to more deaths than they prevent. And police would claim it's justified because the machine told them so.

Facial recognition confirmed he was a criminal and the scanner confirmed he had a gun! Of course we opened fire instantly. How could we have known it was just some guy with a water bottle?

We used advanced colorimetry to determine he was a criminal!
