    San Francisco becomes first US city to ban facial recognition

    The city of San Francisco has voted to ban the use of facial recognition tech by local law enforcement and other agencies, becoming the first to take such a step toward rolling back the tide of intrusive tech-enabled policing.

    “The propensity for facial recognition technology to endanger civil rights and civil liberties substantially outweighs its purported benefits, and the technology will exacerbate racial injustice and threaten our ability to live free of continuous government monitoring,” the Stop Secret Surveillance Ordinance reads. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted 8 to 1 to pass the legislation.

    The new law makes it illegal for city authorities to “obtain, retain, access or use” facial recognition tech and forces local government to solicit public input before adopting or purchasing other intrusive technologies like predictive policing, license plate readers, and biometric surveillance and to disclose their intended use. While its reach is strictly local, meaning state and federal authorities can still use the tools, it is the first legislation of its kind to explicitly ban the tech. Oakland, California and Somerville, Massachusetts are weighing similar measures.

    The California State Assembly appears to be on the same page, having banned biometric surveillance in body cameras last week. Critics of both city and state measures have expressed concern that police will merely turn to private sector surveillance for their data, but the citywide ban takes those concerns into account by barring agencies from actively soliciting tips that they know derive from facial recognition systems, and requiring them to ask their sources whether information originated with such systems. The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, which is working with Somerville on that city’s ban, is looking to insert a prohibition against public-private data sharing.

    Federal authorities, meanwhile, are embracing facial recognition, even within San Francisco, where the airport is an early adopter. The Department of Homeland Security hopes to have the 20 largest US airports blanketed with biometric surveillance by 2021, even though the technology only works about 85 percent of the time, according to the Customs and Border Patrol Inspector General.

    Facial recognition has increasingly come under fire as critics charge it turbocharges existing biases within law enforcement. Multiple studies have shown the tech is inept at distinguishing between nonwhite faces, and earlier this year, over 85 human rights groups wrote to Microsoft, Amazon and Google, the top developers of facial recognition technology, imploring them to quit selling the software to government agencies, citing the threat to vulnerable populations like activists and immigrants.
