If passed, it will make San Francisco the first city in the US to outlaw the use of such technology by the police and other government departments
A proposed ban is part of a broader anti-surveillance ordinance that the city's Board of Supervisors is expected to approve on Tuesday. If passed — a majority of the board's 11 supervisors have expressed support for it — it will make San Francisco the first city in the United States to outlaw the use of such technology by the police and other government departments. The ordinance could also spur other local governments to take similar action.
Matt Cagle, a technology and civil liberties attorney at the ACLU of Northern California, said the raft of issues posed by facial-recognition systems mean the city's proposed legislation would prevent harm to community members. He also expects that, if passed, it will prompt other cities to follow suit."We should be able to live our lives without every movement of ours being tracked and monitored by the government," he told CNN Business.
