Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
Abstract
The note argues that facial recognition technology in policing is fundamentally flawed due to its racial bias, erosion of privacy, and suppression of democratic participation. It advocates for the abolition of facial recognition in law enforcement, citing its inherent inaccuracies and societal risks, and proposes regulatory measures to limit its use if outright abolition is not feasible.
