I live in Portland. While I’m somewhat proud that my city is leading the way in protecting individuals privacy, it’s also hard given current events not to be a bit cynical about the actual intent of this legislation. There are people that are out everyday legitimately protesting. There are also people out every night setting things on fire, smashing windows, spraying graffiti, attacking other people, etc. It seems that our city government is essentially giving the ok for this crime to continue. If facial recognition could be used to identify the people committing crimes, that seems like a good thing.
