Surveillance Firm Plans to Add Facial Recognition to Flock Cameras
Original: Surveillance Company Tells Cops It Wants to Add Facial Recognition to Flock Cameras
A surveillance company is pitching police on adding facial recognition to Flock safety cameras, saying it wants to close a gap left by Flock itself, which does not offer the capability. The plan would expand a network of cameras already widely used by law enforcement into biometric identification, drawing attention from privacy advocates and fueling debate over automated policing tools.
Why now: Privacy and civil liberties concerns over expanding facial recognition into an existing nationwide camera network are drawing scrutiny.
