A recently released report from the Center for Privacy and Technology is calling attention to the growing danger of facial recognition software.

Georgetown Law University’s Center for Privacy and Technology has released a new report detailing how law enforcement is using facial recognition software without the knowledge or consent of the people. The report, “The Perpetual Line-Up: Unregulated Police Face Recognition in America,” examines several cases of misuse or abuse of facial recognition technology.

The researchers filed more than 100 public records requests to police departments around the nation.

Sixteen of those states give the Federal Bureau of Investigations access to their Department of Motor Vehicles databases.
