Flock CEO Pushes Facial Recognition on Surveillance Cameras

Original: Surveillance Finds a Way

The head of Flock Safety, a company whose automated license plate cameras are widely used by police across the United States, says he wants to add facial recognition to the devices and calls it "the way the world will have to be." The remarks are drawing criticism from privacy advocates who warn of expanding mass surveillance without public debate.

Why now: Growing concern over the rapid spread of surveillance technology and its impact on civil liberties.
