Axon is testing facial recognition technology in its body-worn cameras with a Canadian police department. This dangerous expansion of surveillance tech should alarm every community. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/axon-tests-face-recognition-body-worn-cameras

@eff Do you have a Petition to Stop this Racist Crap?

I'm AGAINST Facial Recognition because I got Scars on my Face.

Please Set Up an Online Petition to Stop this. I wish Facial Recognition NEVER exist in the Galaxy.

@eff Any technology that promises more safety and security for those in power will always be funded, while technologies designed to promote safety and security for the marginalized against those in power will always be made illegal. Such is the nature of power and authority.

@eff

Please chief should be fired until one stops this nonsense. The other alternative is just to cut off the police department and hire a different organization for public safety.

@eff IMO body-worn cameras are themselves an egregious invasion of privacy during most encounters.

@eff ☝️
EPS officers' body cameras will feed our faces to a US firm for analysis. It's only a test, they say.

This lays the foundation for a police state.

The people behind the taser.

How could it go wrong?

'This kind of technology could give officers instant identification of any person that crosses their path.'
