Description[ ]


This precedent was set by prior councils too. In 2014, SJPD acquired a drone. Like the predictive policing request, it was buried as a line item in a budget request to the City Council. In 2015, the department also attempted to acquire facial recognition technology with federal funds, a process with no oversight at all from the city. In 2013, they tested one facial recognition solution, the same solution is currently a feature in the photo management software currently in use at the county jail. The extent to which the facial recognition feature is used is currently being investigated by activists 1
