NY: Governor Signs Moratorium on Facial Recognition in State Schools
This is something we wrote about earlier and has been a concern. The Lockport Central School District of NY had installed an “AEGIS facial recognition system” consisting of cameras placed throughout schools in the District. They claimed that the system would be used to identify sex offenders and other “unauthorized” people.
Advocacy groups and civil rights organizations pushed back and finally the Governor agreed to impose a moratorium on the use of the technology until July of 2022 so that its use can be studied before just putting it out there. “Facial recognition technology could provide a host of benefits to New Yorkers, but its use brings up serious and legitimate privacy concerns that we have to examine, especially in schools,” Governor Cuomo said.
Thanks to those of you who voiced your concerns and helped get this tabled.

Are the people pushing this the same who object to individuals presenting identification when voting? Why would someone want such intrusive measures in one aspect and none in another? Because both responses serve the agenda…That is control.
The schools and the military are the easiest place to inject communist ideology and methods of control. These audiences are captive.
The trick is to desensitize the average person into believing that it’s ok to take someone’s rights away (and therefore their dignity and value). That’s why they will use sex offenders to scare everyone else.
More… and more creative ways, to continue legal and social punishment.

This is horrible and this press is making it bad for everyone.
As A Kindly Reminder, Facial Recognition Technology is Solely Relied on by Algorithms; The Fault Factor is Higher with African-Americans, than with any other Ethnicity!
It is a Proven Fact; Even Like a System like ‘Clear’ in the Airports has a False Factor Rate of 87% with regard to African Americans…it is A Fact
Darker Pigmentation of Skin Color, is a Conundrum with Such Systems!
A FACT!
How many on the registry are walking around in schools? Fewer than ones with spewing AK’s ill bet!!
What a waste of money. How many registrants infiltrated that school in the past. What a joke!
Also
Facial recognition is not 100% fool proof. What happens when the “Wrong” person gets slammed to the ground because they LOOK like someone on the registry?
Thats when I pee my pants laughing.. Thats what happens with me anyway lol.
Facial recognition works very well even when you wear a hat and glasses, but it cannot beat the covid mask….i will be wearing one in public even when the epidemic is past.
Watch you back…….
Than it’s oops my bad, just doing my job (rolls eyes).
