“A powerful facial recognition system with access to driver’s licenses photographs and mug shots went live on June 2. The system is designed to take advantage of the increasing prevalence of security cameras. In Cincinnati alone, police already have access to 118 security cameras, but anticipate having access to over 1,000 by the end of 2014. That number doesn’t include footage from cameras that law enforcement can acquire when private businesses cooperate in investigations. Anyone with access to the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway can acquire personal information — including home addresses or driver’s license and social security numbers of strangers.”
