Bill overview
This bill, the Stop Biometric Surveillance by Law Enforcement Act, prohibits federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, as well as high-risk urban areas, from using facial recognition technology or other biometric surveillance systems on images captured by body-worn cameras. It includes penalties for non-compliance, reducing grant funding by 5% for violating entities, and reallocating those funds to compliant jurisdictions. The bill aims to address concerns about privacy, bias, and the potential for misuse of this technology by law enforcement.
