Flock CEO Backs Facial Recognition on Surveillance Cameras
Original: Surveillance Finds a Way
404 Media reports that the CEO of surveillance company Flock wants to add facial recognition to the company's widely deployed license plate reading cameras, calling it "the way the world will have to be." Critics are sounding the alarm about mass biometric tracking becoming a default feature of public surveillance infrastructure, renewing debate over how little oversight governs police camera networks in the United States.
Why now: Growing public concern that a company already embedded in US policing is moving toward routine facial recognition surveillance.
