United state : In U.S. State San Francisco, a bill has been sanctioned for the ban on ‘Face Recognition technology.’ No authority or law enforcement agency will be able to use this new technology under the bill approved by the lawmakers, while purchasing such modern technology will have to be approved by the civil administration before purchasing. This bill will officially become part of the civil law next week after the second vote.
The ban supporters of this technology said, The current technology is incredible and this is a rare ban on people’s personalities and freedom. According to the critics of this technology, there are also technical issues related to the identity of women and deeper skin.
However, the opposition of the bill says, approving this bill would be a fatal and this is dangerous for public protection and it will be difficult to fight crime too.
Stop Crime Organization’s Vice President said, Instead of complete ban on this technology, it should be respected to improve it. These new steps will not apply to San Francisco’s airport and port because these institutions work under the federation.

I think that this technology would be very helpful to the police and similar institutions
I am curious about the reason behind the law
Privacy problem is really serious nowadays
Yeah , this is also one of the aspect
I can understand why folks would want to protect their privacy, but this seems weird. Also, if the cameras are in place, anyone can hack the feed and still use facial recognition software so the usefulness of the law is suspect…
Yes, i agree with you Alex. Thank you for comments
it will be the worst case scenario- law enforcement will not be able to use the feeds to do their job, but criminals still can…
Yes, they will taste the out come just in a month
interestingly enough, the FBI can still use facial recognition on those camera feeds. I wonder if the state police can, as well…
Very interesting about facial recognition. I have just seen this in movies and on TV serials.
Yeah , In movie it was a fiction before but later it became reality
Looks like another controversial subject.
Yeah , It is controversial Issue these days in US
I am not against the use of facial recognition technology or any other technology and science that can be used to solve crimes and achieve justice. I am against abuse, misuse and corruption of such technological tools. Bottom line? It’s always about the humans who have the tools and how they use them.
I completely agree with you!
I agree with you and what you said is very correct
In truth, I do not know this technology, so I can not make any concrete comments
I’m not familiar with this technology. I do not want to make incompetent comments.
That;s what i expect from decent person
Just to be clear there are a number of exceptions to the San Fran ban. Included in that is that a state or municipality cannot pass laws that modify or govern the execution of federal offices. That means that while the law applies within the limits of the city, it does not apply to any federal facility in the city.
Yes, DocAnderson , I have also mentioned the same in this article
you actually didn’t which is why i brought up that this is a CIVIL only law. The US Federal Government cannot be abridged by a local law. The state of California would be in for a fight if they tried to do this.
Yeah , you have completed the renaming part story , thank you for valuable comments
you are most welcome. This is a growing area of concern in the US, and many other parts of the world.
The reality of law enforcement is they often have limited tools. Forcing them to wear a camera (body cam) and yet not allowed to utilize facial recognition is an interesting reality.
Wait until there is a moment of clarity and the San Fran law will be modified.
Europe is fighting against all kinds of biometric access they have called this technology ‘the place of no return.’ There are negative sides to everything we need to study that block out the loopholes before we move ahead.
Yeah i agree with you Mr dawn
I could not make a decision unless I knew the wider reasons for their ruling
Yeah, there were few wrong arrest happen in san francisco due to this new technology and that become the reason of ban.
