I would like to see a national law requiring the permanent deletion of mugshots if the arrested is not convicted of a crime within a certain period after the arrest. What percentage of these mugshots that are archived and shared are of innocent people?

Mugshots are typically available to the public anyway. I think they traded easier access to mugshots.

Legal Ownership in perpetuity of 2.5M citizen mugshots accompained by their respective &quot;metadata&quot; Name, gender, age...? Or the right to scan the pictures to store hashes only?<p>&quot;Free facial Recognition Access&quot; is &quot;Two licenses&quot; Worth $12,500 each. For how long? Under which limitations? etc

Reasonable solution: Extract homomorohically encrypted features and mandate homomorphic face search

Am I wrong to assume police already have access to their area’s database of driver’s license photos?<p>Never mind mugshots - I think they already have access to most people’s faces, even those that have never been arrested.

Is it the first total surveillance proposal in the US?
