On July 17, the Fox News "Special Report" program aired an interesting piece about use of facial recognition software by police agencies — specifically, in this instance, Amazon's Rekognition program.
Let me say up front that I have no problem whatever with taking advantage of such software for law enforcement purposes, provided that it is done with appropriate safeguards, and solely as a tool to be used in combination with other evidence to identify, arrest, and prosecute suspects (although I do find use of the letter "k" in the name Amazon's propriety program to be a little creepy — apparently someone is a bit tone deaf in this otherwise progressive-leaning corporate behemoth).
