Indeed. However, if the tool is being used improperly [1], can law enforcement be trusted with it? This seems like a very complicated issue, and I'm legitimately not sure what the right path is. That being said, much like the similar issue with encryption, I would lean on the principle of least privileges and deny LE this capability until we can _effectively_ make sure it won't be abused. (This applies to facial recognition, not encryption. There's no good enough reason to backdoor all encryption.) [1] https://www.banfacialrecognition.com/ https://www.banfacialrecognition.com/

Best tool? Children are disappearing out of ICE detention centers and facial recognition is the best tool to fight human trafficking? I am sorry but I cannot believe that the feds sincerely care about children's well being. Not while our southern border exists in its current state.

  Not only is that a canard[0], it's a tiny fraction of the 50,000 annual human trafficking victims incentivized by maintaining lax enforcement of the southern border.

Net harm that law enforcement will do with it is much worse. They can’t be trusted and have to be stopped.
