The ACLU has demanded the release of the TLA trio's guidelines
and rules regarding what the union terms "face surveillance
technology," well as details of any contracts or pilot programs
it has with private companies over the technology.
The FBI, DoJ and DEA have refused to provide information on what
programs, pilots of policies they have in place over facial recognition
technology.
The FBI has a larger database of over 640 million faces...
seemingly run by an internal FBI unit called Facial Analysis,
Comparison and Evaluation (FACE),
The policies covering use of that database is still unknown, as are
the systems that federal government uses to carry out facial
recognition. What is known is that several companies have contracts
with the government for facial recognition, including Amazon. Again,
the details of those contracts are unknown.
