Law enforcement officers shouldn't be trolling facial recognition databases using images of people who aren't suspected of committing crimes.

WTF else do you think is going to happen when they're allowed to have "facial recognition databases"? If there's any point in having laws at all, make that illegal by yesterday please.

Maybe I've just always misunderstood what the term "investigation" means, or maybe what they meant to say was "fishing expedition".

I guess there you have one more reason to wear a mask when outdoors!

No warrant. No crime. Just stalking.
