California legislature bars facial recognition for police body cameras.
The State Assembly voted 42-18 for the bill, AB-1215, after a vote in favor by the Senate on Wednesday. It will now head to Governor Gavin Newsom's desk for signing or a veto, and it would take effect on Jan. 1, 2020.
Assemblymember Phil Ting, the bill's sponsor, said Thursday's vote was important for maintaining trust in communities that have benefited from the transparency cameras provide. The bill reflects growing discontent in the United States over facial recognition, which government agencies have used for years and now has become more powerful with the rise of cloud computing and artificial intelligence technologies. San Francisco and Oakland voted this year to ban city personnel from using it.
