Facial recognition coming to bodycams

Advocacy on the left for police cams have good interest in mind, which is to reign in police brutality by exposure. A good aim, and we've seen some good results, but for that to work there needs to be an independent agency reviewing footage only for that purpose.

Looks like facial recognition will be added to bodycams soon, increasing police power and surveillance.

Agreed.  Good intentions, not all that helpful without standards to prevent "malfunction" (cameras turned off / "broken" at critical moments) and review impartially, and now this.
