Lipps was extradited to Fargo, North Dakota \u2014 more than 1,000 miles away from her home \u2014 at the end of October, according to a GoFundMe campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The West Fargo Police Department had used \u201cfacial recognition technology\u201d that flagged Lipps as a potential suspect in a local fraud case, Dave Zibolski, the Fargo Police Department\u2019s chief, told CNN. From there, his department took \u201cadditional investigative steps independent of AI to assist in identification\u201d and confirm Lipps as a suspect.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Angela Lipps, 50, was wrongfully arrested in July on suspicion of bank fraud in North Dakota. <span class=\"credit\">Fargo Police Dept.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He admitted at a press conference Tuesday that the West Fargo police\u2019s system was \u201cpart of the issue\u201d in Lipps\u2019 wrongful arrest.<\/p>\n<p>The West Fargo Police Department told CNN that they use Clearview AI, which \u201cidentified a potential suspect with similar features to Angela Lipps.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>Lipps was also detained in Tennessee for three months because the Cass County Sheriff\u2019s Office apparently neglected to tell North Dakota authorities that they had her extradition waiver, the outlet reported. <\/p>\n<p>Lipps said that her relocation to North Dakota was \u201cthe first time I had ever been on an airplane.\u201d She added it was the first, and last, time she will ever step foot in the Peace Garden State.<\/p>\n<p>By that point, Lipps was \u201cterrified and exhausted and humiliated,\u201d she wrote on the GoFundMe, but the end still wasn\u2019t in sight. <\/p>\n<p>Once the grandmother finally touched down in Fargo, she was provided with a lawyer, who obtained bank records proving that she had been in Tennessee during the time of the fraud the department linked her to.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Lipps was jailed for five months. <span class=\"credit\">GoFundMe<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt took five minutes for the whole thing to fall apart. Five minutes,\u201d Lipps wrote on the fundraiser.<\/p>\n<p>On Dec. 23, just over five months since Lipps\u2019 arrest, a Fargo detective, the state\u2019s attorney and a judge \u201cmutually agreed to dismiss the charges without prejudice to allow for further investigation,\u201d Fargo police told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>Lipps was released on Christmas Eve \u2014 but was still trapped between a rock and a hard place. <\/p>\n<p>During the five months she was in custody, Lipps\u2019 reputation was tarnished, her rental home was gone, and all of her belongings were seized when her storage unit bill went unpaid, she claimed in the GoFundMe.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Lipps was mistakenly flagged by an AI-powered recognition software. <span class=\"credit\">GoFundMe<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI am not the same woman I was. I don\u2019t think I ever will be,\u201d Lipps wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The fundraiser cleared $68,000 on Sunday. <\/p>\n<p>Zibolski assured that the Fargo Police Department will no longer be \u201csending or utilizing information\u201d from West Fargo\u2019s Clearview AI because \u201cit\u2019s their own system, we don\u2019t know how it\u2019s run or how it\u2019s overseen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zibolski added that all facial recognition identifications will also be shared with the department\u2019s Investigation Division commander on a monthly basis, \u201cso that we can keep a closer eye on this evolving technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He admitted that the department should\u2019ve submitted surveillance photos associated with the fraud cases to the relevant agencies trained in facial recognition. <\/p>\n<p>In the wake of Lipps\u2019 whirlwind detainment, the department \u201cimmediately began measures to address\u201d their gaffe and is in the process of identifying other potential suspects in the fraud case.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
