We sent a letter to Seattle @MayorJenny calling for a ban on SPD’s use of facial recognition technology.
Public records show that an SPD detective used his work email, work computer, and solicited and used Clearview AI technology during work hours.

We’re asking the mayor to ban the use of this tech once and for all – it’s not about an individual officer or an isolated incident. This is about banning the use of a technological tool that perpetuates the cycle of police brutality and harm towards marginalized communities.Show this thread -
Mayor Durkan, we urge you to ban facial recognition and make clear that this harmful and racist tech has no place in our communities.
Trust must be restored, and this is just one step of many we hope you will take.Show this thread
