Facial recognition software can be integrated with existing police databases, including mugshots and driver’s license records.

Some cities, like San Francisco and Boston , have banned its use for law enforcement, while others have embraced it.

The exact number of law enforcement agencies using facial recognition software is difficult to know.

Supporters of this technology celebrate the use of facial recognition to solve crimes.

Opponents argue that law enforcement is not doing enough to ensure that their systems are accurate and reliable.

Facial recognition software allows users to adjust the confidence scores, or reliability, of the image returns.

Facebook, YouTube , and Twitter are among the largest companies to speak out against the practice, filing cease and desist orders.
