What if someone is known to have committed a crime and police look at surveillance footage from nearby red-light cameras?
Or if that person is thought to have visited that location in the past, could they use that footage?
Which brings another question, what about facial recognition performed by a human? Investigators can presumably scour video or surveillance data by hand, but I guess just not by machine? Can they use face detection to simplify picking out faces? Zoom in and enhance?
It's very tricky when passing legislation to narrow in on the pernicious aspects of "facial recognition"
- Closi 5y agoWell the legislation is pretty specific in terms of what facial recognition is allowed actually, and the scenario you are describing is listed and explicitly allowed. The text is completely open so you can see exactly how they have scoped it.
- da_chicken 5y agoIf only there were some system in place where police would request the judiciary evaluate their evidence and reasoning to see if violating the privacy of the suspects were approved and warranted. Whatever would we call such a process?
- da_big_ghey 5y agoWell i don't trust government to collect data on movements of every person but only use it with a warrant... i have issue with red-light camera for exactly this reason, we are not london, we should not have constant government surveilling. I am also concerned significantly by ring doorbell and similar, but unsure for what solution we need use. I think maybe as a first step we say they may not record any outside of a person's own property line.
