For the love of god can we please just ban facial recognition? Why is no one even talking about this?

It alleges that Detective Lucas Heck proceeded with charges despite knowing that Lipps lived in Tennessee, had never visited North Dakota, did not match the physical description of the suspect captured on surveillance footage, and had no unexplained funds linking her to the thefts.

If proven true, this seems like a slam dunk win for the victim.

I wonder if this egregiousness would also expose Detective Heck to personal liability bypassing his qualified immunity so that he could be sued directly too.

I love it when these cases come to light, and even to this day have some hope that the bad press, and expense of this lawsuit will incur some change in behavior from the city and police department. I know, pretty naive, right? Go get 'em Ms. Lipps, take the money and run.

You go, Granny!

WTF. They didn't even use footage of the suspect to falsely ID the TN woman, they used the picture on a fake ID used by the suspect !?!?!?!! That's so mind-bogglingly stupid. How was this charge not thrown out immediately?

The source of the facial recognition was a fake ID used by a female suspect who was captured on surveillance footage in incidents involving multiple Fargo-area banks, according to the complaint. Lipps did not look like the suspect captured on surveillance video, according to the complaint, which noted their difference in build, facial features and tattoos. Prior to arrest, Lipps had also never been to North Dakota, according to the complaint.

$10 million isn't enough.
