An AI facial recognition camera flagged Jason Killinger as a “100 percent match” for a man banned from a casino gaming floor while he was betting there. After casino security detained him, officer Richard Jager arrested him, accusing him of using a fake ID. The lawsuit alleges Jager refused to check other forms of ID that Killinger says he carried. Killinger was held for 12 hours. He has filed a lawsuit against the city of Reno, alleging it failed to train officers on the legal use of facial recognition tools. A lawsuit against Jager is already ongoing and will now include Reno as a defendant. The wider claims of thousands of unlawful arrests are allegations the sources do not establish.
