Teaneck just banned facial recognition technology for police.

Measure H requires that any property acquisition or property improvements other than basic maintenance that cost more that $1 million must go on a citywide ballot. ....

No criminal penalties are provided, but the ordinance gives employees the ability to file lawsuits and helps with their legal expenses if they are passed over when their position is refilled. ....
