Police use facial recognition to identify women twerking on police car

RICHMOND HEIGHTS, Ohio (WOIO/Gray News) - Police in Ohio used facial recognition technology to track down women who were seen twerking on a police car.

Dashboard camera video from June shows multiple women twerking on a police car in Richmond Heights, Ohio.

Police said one of the women climbed up on the push bumper, and another climbed up and danced on the hood. The dancing caused some damage, according to police.

“There is a small dent and a little crease here. We didn’t decide to fix that at this time. There was a pretty significant scratch that was about, probably from here to here,“ police said.

Police were able to identify the women with the help of Northeast Ohio Regional Fusion Center using a facial recognition software called Clearview AI.

The software searches social media accounts and other databases to confirm identities.

Two of the three women have been identified, and police said they issued arrest warrants for the women.
