More CCTV cameras with face recognition capabilities were observed in New York City boroughs and neighborhoods with higher concentrations of non-white residents, according to new research by human rights group Amnesty International.
A sign stands outside the Lambert Houses, a Phipps Houses Development low-income housing complex, in the Bronx borough of New York, Sept. 1, 2017.
"It's a high bar to be able to use it and that's the way it should be," Boyce, who retired in 2018, told ABC News."We don't use it for anything other than a criminal investigation, and we wrote a very strict policy on this, because it was under scrutiny by a lot of people." "I can't tell you how important it is. Our closing rates have gone up significantly because we do this now," Boyce said of FRT."I think it's a tremendous aid to us. But like anything else, it can be abused, and you have to stay on top of that.
Along with the research, Amnesty International also created a new interactive website that details potential FRT exposure. Users can see how much of any walking route between two locations in New York City might involve face recognition surveillance. "The use of mass surveillance technology at protest sites is being used to identify, track and harass people who are simply exercising their human rights," Mahmoudi said, calling it a"deliberate scare tactic."
"Any surveillance technology can have a chilling effect on how people engage and how they make use of their free speech rights. It's extremely frightening thinking about how protests can be surveilled," Schwarz said."I think there should be a clear guardrails on its use."
