I'm a proponent of facial recognition technology with proper regulation and oversight but my one big issue with it is that it has been implemented too early in it's development for certain applications like law enforcement. If companies want to use it for security on private property for employee biometric systems or to identify and ban trouble makers or enforce corporate policies I'm all for that real world testing helping to advance the tech but law enforcement shouldn't be using it until it's sufficiently advanced enough to not have rather egregious reliability issues such as in identifying people with darker skin tones. <br><br>That being said in the mentioned case there were regulations in place for use of the technology that apparently were ignored and there is no excuse for failing to properly verify the I.D. manually for that long of a time so in this case it's not so much a failure of the technology but of the people running the system that failed to do the oversight needed to meet the criteria already in place for it's use. <br><br>Sadly some will use this as more fuel to call for the technology to be over-regulated into effective non-existence or totally banned and disregarded despite the huge benefits it can provide when fully developed and regulated with properly enforced oversight.
