Why This Matters
📱 Police skip warrants with smartphone apps:
Officers identify people from protest photos, traffic cameras, or background social media appearances without court oversight or probable cause requirements
🚫 Communities stop cooperating with police:
When every interaction risks facial recognition identification, people avoid reporting crimes or helping investigations, destroying community-police relationships
⚫ Facial recognition errors target Black Americans most:
Technology mistakes disproportionately affect minorities while police departments resist transparency about surveillance deployment and accuracy rates
🏛️ Police departments bypass democratic oversight:
Agencies adopt facial recognition without public hearings, city council approval, or community input about surveillance technology use in neighborhoods
⚖️ Mass surveillance violates presumption of innocence:
Facial recognition treats everyone like suspects, creating guilty-until-proven-innocent assumptions that fundamentally undermine constitutional protections
