This is the best summary I could come up with:
Police in Peel and York regions, near Toronto, announced in late May they were jointly implementing Idemia's technology, which they will use to compare existing mugshots with crime scene images of suspects and persons of interest.
The photo had come from a fake Tennessee driver's licence the suspect provided to officers at the scene of the theft, according to a police report submitted as a court exhibit in the civil case.
Two days later, an investigator emailed a Woodbridge detective a PDF file containing a "good possible hit on facial recognition," according to court exhibits reviewed by CBC News.
"Idemia Face Expert will be used to aid human decision-making, not replace it," Peel Regional Police Deputy Chief Nick Milinovich said in a video posted online.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) earlier this year filed a court brief in support of Parks, stating "officers unreasonably relied on a shaky lead from fundamentally unreliable technology."
In slides prepared for a 2018 presentation titled "Face Recognition Evaluation @ Idemia," a representative wrote the company's algorithm has the "same [false positive identification rate] for Black or white subjects, male or female."
