Facial recognition technology uses software to identify individuals based on their facial features, and can be used to monitor public spaces and enhance security measures. Proponents argue that it enhances public safety by identifying and preventing potential threats, and helps in locating missing persons and criminals. Opponents argue that it infringes on privacy rights, can lead to misuse and discrimination, and raises significant ethical and civil liberties concerns.

No, because they can just a take a picture of you online and the facial recognitiontechnology will recognize its you.
Yes but this should be heavily regulated where only the authorities can access it by court order, similar to an arrest Warrent.
The government should not use facial recognition to have mass surveillance to enhance public safety due to more money that it would cost and there would need to be a database that would force people into making sure the government knows who they are by that they look. this can cause more harm than good.
Yes, but the footage should be strongly gatekeeped and only be accessible in cases of murder or rape
Mass surveillance is an inevitable progression of civilization. The focus of government relations with mass surveillance should be primarily to promote benevolent use cases and protect citizens by anticipating and challenging malevolent exploitation of the technology.
No, as it is often biased against people of color. POC are often misidentified and wrongly accused when using facial recognition technology.
No because there is the chance of it being the wrong person and you just prosecuted a innocent person.
It depends if it is for places like airports where you especially need it. If it is getting to personal then no.
As long as it does not interfere with a person's privacy and rights. The government should be ethical about it.
It is a violation to the privacy rights but it is important for the public safety. So yes, but in certain rules and commitments.
No, this invades on people's privacy and this form of surveillance can be hacked, making it easier to obtain private information. Plus, this can totally be misused.
Due to modern technology facial recognition can be fault, due to ai and photographic altering. You can't trust face recognition. And should only be used as reference not fact
yes, only if you make people aware of it and only having it in certain areas. Not in neighborhoods but in larger city's or facility's.
No, facial recognition technology is racist and has been shown to falsely identify Black and Brown people at disproportionately high rates
yeah it would keep people safer but would also need to have all those videos saved and that just feels like a breach of privacy
Yes, facial recognition should be used to identify people, but mass surveillance should not be implemented.
Yes, but only on Government owned property, otherwise they should be held accountable for any violations of civil security
Yes, because if they are dangerous, we need to know to prevent something bad if it occurs, and cameras are usually in a public place which is legal.
in the terms it maintains peoples privacy with the surveillance only happening outside of houses and in the road.
we should but not right now because we are in debt
This might help police departments to catch criminals easier, but this might infringe on peoples privacy
