Facial recognition technology uses software to identify individuals based on their facial features, and can be used to monitor public spaces and enhance security measures. Proponents argue that it enhances public safety by identifying and preventing potential threats, and helps in locating missing persons and criminals. Opponents argue that it infringes on privacy rights, can lead to misuse and discrimination, and raises significant ethical and civil liberties concerns.

Yes, but any use of it to surveil without cause should be unlawful and un-actionable, as well as maintaining security of data to prevent its use in marketing, profit making, or non-related to enhancing public safety from the legal standpoint.

On one hand, it could be useful in identifying criminals but on the other hand, it could be used against innocent citizens by an authoritarian state or for other arbitrary purposes.
