New York Bills Would Ban Law Enforcement Use of Facial Recognition Surveillance

The legislation would prohibit any police agency or police officer from acquiring, possessing, accessing, installing, activating, or using any “biometric surveillance system” including facial recognition. It would also bar the use of any biometric information or surveillance information derived from the use of a biometric surveillance system by any other entity. Provisions in the bill would also allow for individuals to seek damages for the violation of the law.
