People have been identifying wanted criminals from photographs for a long time. Sometimes humans identify correctly but often they are incorrect.

I would hope that there is a less drastic/foolish procedure than "FBI handcuffs person at work, investigates later" every time that someone thinks their new neighbor looks like a criminal on a poster and phones in a tip. Just substitute "algorithm phones in a tip" for "neighbor phones in a tip."
