      No joke, years ago a deputy got busted handcuffing a mentally disabled woman and dragging her by her ankles down a set of stairs on his body cam.
      They fucking let him resign after the scandal and he went to the very next county over (my county) and got a job as a deputy on our sheriff’s department where he’s been ever since despite dozens of complaints.

    This should not be possible. It should not be possible to use the software at all without a warrant.

      Amen.

      These tools should be secured so that only a properly Appointed, Licensed and Barred Judge may use the facial recognition software. It’s clear that Officers shouldn’t be allowed…they misuse the tools too often.
