Nijeer Parks was arrested due to a false facial recognition match CNN 3 hrs ago Story & Video by John General and Jon Sarlin, CNN Business © John General/CNN Nijeer Parks was arrested for crimes he did not commit based on a faulty facial recognition match. (John General/CNN) In February 2019, Nijeer Parks walked into the Woodbridge Police Department to clear his name. Parks, a 31-year-old Black man living in Paterson, New Jersey, had received a frantic phone call from his grandmother telling him that police from Woodbridge, a town 30 miles away, had come looking for him at the apartment they shared. This was all a misunderstanding, he had thought. Parks had trouble with the law in his past, but that was behind him. Since being released from prison on drug-related charges, he had changed his life and was now working a steady job as a carpenter.
