We told you a little over a month ago that Amazon was rolling out facial recognition systems to law enforcement for testing in Orlando, FL. Apparently the push back from civil liberties groups has gotten to be more than the Police Department can bear. It has now announced that it will no longer be testing the technology.
“Partnering with innovative companies to test new technology – while also ensuring we uphold privacy laws and in no way violate the rights of others – is critical to us as we work to further keep our community safe,” the city and the Orlando Police Department said in a joint statement provided to Floridapolitics.com on Monday.
