Bill overview
This bill, the Facial Recognition Ban on Body Cameras Act, prohibits the use of facial recognition technology and other remote biometric surveillance systems on images and videos captured by body-worn cameras used by law enforcement officers. It aims to protect civil rights and prevent potential biases in identification, ensuring body cameras are used for transparency and accountability rather than surveillance. The bill also restricts federal financial assistance to states and local governments that don't comply with similar restrictions and establishes definitions for key terms related to biometric surveillance.
