Image Recognition
However, in Massachusetts there is hope for those who want to restrict police access to face recognition. That’s because when it comes to regulating face recognition, few states are as important as Massachusetts. Right now in the US, regulations on police use of face recognition are trapped in political gridlock. It would be one of the strictest pieces of statewide legislation in the country and could set the standard for how face recognition is regulated elsewhere. Many of those fears revolve around privacy: live video-based face recognition is seen as riskier than retroactive photo-based recognition because it can track people in real time.
