Facial recognition surveillance returns to the US to fight crime

In recent years, we have noticed a trend in US cities and states to phase out facial recognition technology. It turns out, however, that after refining the systems, monitoring with facial recognition will return to the US and become more common.

Why does the US want to return to systems of this type, which have always been controversial and in China are an example of another push for pressure from citizens? To understand this, we need to take a look at the results in a report that was prepared by the Department of Homeland Security. According to him, inequality by race and gender is a thing of the past, so in its current state of advancement, technology should not now “discriminate” against any group.

With such a “pad”, the US authorities can use this technology again due to the increase in the crime rate. It is hardly surprising, considering the recent years and examples of, for example, New Orleans, where the number of homicides increased by 67% in the last two years. The police have allegedly used all available means and use the controversial technology only because they see it as their last resort.
