The killer's face isn't visible in the February 14 footage, so Clearview couldn't identify them.
Undeterred, the cops used Clearview's facial recognition to identify a person in separate video surveillance captured days later on February 20, 2024. The US city's police themselves figured that person, on the basis of his clothing and the way he walked, may be the shooter in the February 14 footage, and obtained a search warrant against the computer-identified man.

So their whole case is that some dude walking down the street days later looked kinda like the guy. They have no other evidence to link him to the crime, other than a gun "officers believe is the murder weapon". The cops deserve to get laughed out of court and publicly humiliated for this.

  it's even worse than that... their case is that the arrestee, dude A, kinda looks like a dude B who was walking down the street days later, and dude B's clothes kinda look like the clothes of a dude C who shot someone
- Oh boy....do I have some bad news for you.
  Anyway, don't worry, I'm sure this suspect will end up suiciding himself in jail after his next arrest (jaywalking or loitering).
The real story is the “parallel construction”
The police made up a story to invade his privacy, and lied about their real reason for the warrant.
Every officer involved in that lie should be arrested and forbidden from police work.
Clearview is fucking terrifying. The excellent podcast Search Engine did an episode on it. Would recommend.
