Yet only a portion of those is currently active, due to the cost of implementing the technology.
What?s The Worst That Could Happen With Huge Databases Of Facial Biometric Data?
The widespread use of facial recognition technology is almost upon us. The new iPhone is available with FaceID where you can unlock your phone with your face. Facial recognition is not new. It?s been a sci-fi staple for decades, and its practical roots are in the 1960s with Palo Alto researchers on RAND Tablets manually mapping out people?s features. Even back then we could give a computer enough data to be able to match a person to a their photograph.

Cities Seek Police Surveillance Transparency And Oversight
Legislative efforts began in eleven cities aimed at requiring police departments to be more transparent about the surveillance technology they use. The bills will also reportedly propose increased community control over the use of surveillance tools. These efforts, spearheaded by the ACLU and other civil liberty organizations, are important at a time when surveillance technology is improving and is sometimes used without the knowledge or approval of local officials or the public.
