Fugitive Facial Recognition System (SRFP) is used to recognize fugitives from Justice. It was declared unconstitutional in 2022.
After a hearing, the Buenos Aires Justice ratified the decision not to reactivate it. Facial recognition technology is based on verifying a person's identity based on their facial features. For this, unique characteristics such as the shape of the nose, the distance of the eyes or theshape of the cheekbones are analyzed. The system demonstrated its shortcomings when a citizen spent almost a week in prison because he was confused with a criminal.
