Technology can help. Good, proven technology. Facial recognition tech is not ready for prime time.
Too often we've seen the legal system use flimsy evidence, and comb the earth for experts who'll back up the flimsy evidence. Then years later the city is paying someone for their wrongful conviction.
I don't want to be the person whose life is turned upside-down, and unable to pay legal fees all because of some flawed facial recognition.
When facial recognition is reliable, then we need to talk about privacy and access to the data and how it's used.
I can already imagine what'll happen. Government entities like, law enforcement, will have to jump through hoops to get warrants and prove they have a good reason to access the data. However, private entities like grocery stores, marijuana dispensaries and car washes won't need a good reason. They'll use it for marketing, and making money allowing 3rd parties to access the data.
I'm not cool with any of that.
