Wrongful Arrest - Super Recogniser Can Prevent Such

It has been widely reported that an Asian man was misidentified by as a burglar and arrested after an investigating officer, who had not been assessed on his face matching ability, verified the identification.

The below article rightfully asks - why are law enforcement agencies not using their human Super Recognisers to verify computer identifications? These officers and staff can be identified and trained to use their natural skill. Why risk arresting the wrong person, damaging community relations and paying out for costly court settlements?? The SRs can also be used in all manner of other proactive roles where spotting someone is essential.
