Regulating Police Use of Facial Recognition
Season 2024
Episode 28
A bill that would prohibit police from using face recognition technology as the sole reason for search or arrest is advancing in California state legislature. But groups advocating against the technology oppose the pending legislation, saying it doesn't fully address the issue of innocent people being falsely identified and wrongfully arrested. Khari Johnson reports for CalMatters.
