What's at stake here is genuinely deeper than the particular issue of COVID vaccination mandates. Effective policymaking and governance, or for that matter social coexistence, can't survive the rule "you may commit professional fraud if you feel like it."

Police use facial recognition to identify women twerking on police car Police used a facial recognition software to identify women seen twerking on a police car.

And now there are stories like this, where police will use Clearview AI for seemingly any potential offense.

Everything can be surveilled and everyone can be identified.

This shows Clearview's strategy has worked. It flooded the market, offering free trials of its product to cops everywhere. And while there were some concerns from police departments, some of those very PDs have signed contracts to use the tech. It's the freemium model of a surveillance state.

A screenshot of a table from BuzzFeed News showing Dallas Police Department running between 501 and 1000 Clearview AI Searches. 

The table reads:

Surveillance Nation
Use the table below to search for US taxpayer-funded entities that have used or tried Clearview AI as of February 2020 based on internal data.

β€œThe Dallas Police Department does not have a contract with Clearview Al, nor has the app been approved for use by any member of the department. Officers found using this app were instructed to remove the app from their city issued devices. Officers we found using the app on their personal devices were instructed not to use the app as part of their job functions.” β€”Melinda Gutierrez, spokesperson

At BuzzFeed News in 2021, we documented how police across the US quietly used Clearview.

Among them was Dallas PD, which had run 500+ searches as of Feb 2020 based on internal Clearview data. At the time, a spox said officers were told to remove the app: www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryan...
