The recognition itself is not the problem, it’s the way it will be used

Though its use may start benign, it will end up being used as an invasion of privacy and for other immoral purposes, especially when private corporations get their hands on it. The way in which they implement it would also need to be very invasive by nature. This also opens the door to other, less benign forms of searches and regulation etc. Also, this is not the type of issue that the anti-recognition crowd should be forced to accept should they be in the minority. This type of surveillance would require a full, 100% consent from all voters. And what about the non voters? This is not about politics, this is regulation and surveillance. Not to mention when it goes wrong, for example algorithmic bias. However, I interpreted this question from the perspective of government use. I am aware that some versions of face recognition already exist, for example Apple Face ID.

Facial recognition in the right hands provide safety for the U.S. citizens due to increase crime rate.

Additionally, Apple and many other smartphone companies have gone through a lawsuit in Illinois because the way the used Facial Recognition was considered unconstitutional.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
