HELENA, Mont. (March 1, 2021) – On Friday, a Montana House Committee passed a bill that would place limits on law enforcement use of facial recognition. The proposed law would not only help protect privacy in Montana; it could also hinder one aspect of the federal surveillance state.
Rep. Katie Sullivan (D-Missoula) introduced House Bill 577 (HB577) on Feb. 23. Under the proposed law, a local government agency could only use facial recognition technology for the investigation of a missing or endangered person, violent felonies, or for locating a person in the vicinity of a recent violent felony who may be connected to that crime. It would ban the use of facial recognition for ongoing surveillance, conducting real-time or near real-time identification, or starting persistent tracking without a warrant.
