Description

In 2012 the San Diego Police Department started to use facial recognition.They were also subsequently found to have used Clearview AI. In 2020, the police department prohibited the use of Clearview, and stated it would stop using facial recognition.

Introduced in 2012 by the countywide San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) without any public hearing or notice, the Tactical Identification System (TACIDS) gave law enforcement officials access to software that focuses on unique textures and patterns in the face—ear shape, hair, skin color—using the distance between the eyes as a baseline. In less than two seconds, the software compares those unique identifiers to a mugshot database of 1.8 million images collected by the San Diego County Sheriff’s office. The system, whose software is supplied by surveillance vendor FaceFirst, is part of a larger database called the Automated Justice Information Systems (ARJIS), a network formed by city and county agencies to provide criminal justice information services to each other 1

For seven years, police had used a sophisticated network of as many as 1,300 mobile cameras (smartphones and tablets) and compiled a database of some 65,500 face scans 1

Two San Diego police detectives used Clearview as part of investigations into financial crimes, police Lt. Shawn Takeuchi said, adding that the app was used “in partnership with our private business partners in the banking industry" 2

Within the District Attorney’s Office, eight investigators tried the app, according to spokesman Steve Walker, who said it was not used in any cases that resulted in charges 2
