Image Recognition
A California assemblyman introduced a new bill to set parameters for how and when law enforcement officers can use facial recognition technology in body cameras. Currently, there are no statewide restrictions on facial recognition technology, because Ting’s previous bill sunset in January of this year. Ting and state Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena) are working with the CPCA on AB 642, the Facial Recognition Privacy Act. "Create standards, and safeguards governing the use of facial recognition technology," said Pridgen. Several Bay Area cities have banned police use of facial recognition including San Francisco, Oakland and Alameda.
