With No Laws To Guide It, Here's How Orlando Is Using Amazon's Facial Recognition Technology
"New documents obtained by BuzzFeed News reveal the most detailed picture
yet of how the Orlando Police Department is using Amazon Rekognition,
the tech giant’s facial recognition technology....
In the US, there are no laws governing the use of facial recognition,
and there is no regulatory framework limiting its law enforcement
applications. There is no case law or constitutional precedent upholding
police use of the tech without a warrant; courts haven’t even decided
whether facial recognition constitutes a search under the Fourth
Amendment. The technology is still plagued by inaccuracies.
But that hasn't stopped law enforcement from piloting these systems. According to documents obtained by BuzzFeed News, the city of Orlando — which initially allowed its original Rekognition pilot to expire amid growing public outcry — just embarked on a second pilot that allows for an unspecified but 'increased' number of additional cameras."
