Legislator presses forward with facial recognition ban even after it helped solve Loyola student murder case in her district – CWB Chicago

Rep. Kelly Cassidy said, in part, "It is tragic that some people want to use individual tragedies to justify the use of flawed technologies that risk the private information of millions in our state. ... House Bill 5521 does not limit state and local police from investigating crimes. It simply protects the privacy of millions of Illinois residents simply because they have an Illinois driver’s license.”

why no mention of the tenessee grandmother who was falsely arrested based on AI facial recognition and held in jail for 3 months for crimes in a state which she has never been to?

Instead of all these bills that slowly erode the abilities of police to fight crime, they should just jump ahead to their ultimate goal: no crime shall be investigated or prosecuted, no one shall be held responsible. Unless you are a Republican. Then the gloves come off and we’ll do our best to destroy you, guilty or not.

JoeyB didnt do the pardons, whomever was running the autopen did it.

exactly-both parties did the exact same thing so to suggest that pardoning criminals is a democratic only practice is disingenuous
