Facial Recognition and Surveillance in New York City

New York City has implemented live facial recognition on its bridges and tunnels, using cameras to read faces through windshields. Despite a leaked test showing zero faces captured, the transit authority proceeded with the technology. This system extends beyond tolling and has the ability to track every license plate.
