Half of U.S. adults are profiled in government facial
recognition databases


Half of all US adults — 117 million people — are in police facial
recognition databases across the country with little regulation over how the
networks are searched and used, according to a new study.


In addition to lack of regulation, many question the accuracy of facial
recognition algorithms. Meanwhile, state, city, and federal facial recognition
databases include 48 percent of U.S. adults.


A few agencies have instituted meaningful protections to prevent the misuse
of the technology. In many more cases, no controls on the use of the data.


About 20 states allow police to search drivers license photo databases
without a warrent. Police in a handful of other states and cities including San
Fransisco, Los Angeles, San Diego and Chicago can search criminal mug shots.
