I'm taking a biometrics course to round out a double major and I think its driving me insane. Lecture this morning was on facial recognition of mugshots (all mugshots were of black people) then later in lab we had a news report about British police employing human "super recognizers" to surveil protests. Its all some loving Voight-Kampf poo poo

lol, what the gently caress is a "super recognizer"? How does someone get a job like that?

In theory some people are abnormally good at spotting facial similarities, like how some people are savants at math or whatever, but I'm pretty much assuming in practice its an excuse to invent probable cause
