Facial recognition is becoming a powerful tool for law enforcement, helping to track suspects and solve cold cases faster than ever. But with concerns over privacy, racial bias, and wrongful arrests, is this tech doing more harm than good? https://ace-usa.org/blog/research/understanding-the-debate-on-facial-recognition-technology-in-policing-pros-cons-and-privacy-concerns/

Interesting read. There are countries with low crime rates before this technology came to light, facial recognition doesn't seem to be the right answer for law enforcement. I wish they'd delve in more on the privacy concerns or scenarios that might outweigh the benefits

Pro's: rapists will not rape you in front of the camera.

Cons: ๐Ÿคช face like that at your speeding ticket hearing every 3 weeks minus 10% of your yearly income. If that's your thing. Me I don't drive crazy ever. But I don't want to live with a constant reminder that some cock sucker in a blue hat can just ruin my life if they so feel like it.

Reminds me of the cops that provided daily entertainment for us drivers going thru Linwood WA ... They got a school stop sign ๐Ÿ›‘ 20mph in a 30mph zone, but no school. But what is hilarious is that right in front of the stop there's a housing development that's probably the the Uber ๐Ÿค‘ rich... Who the fuck would want to live there at all?

At least give them an hour to jack off and get dressed in pace before going back to work. With the fuckin cops there, it means they can't make big noises, no music, no screwing around. Might as well make it a public park because that shit is not selling.
