Law Enforcement – Use of Facial Recognition Technology – Images Captured by Camera Affixed to Dwelling Exterior

Summary

The bill lets law‑enforcement agencies run facial‑recognition software on photos or video taken by a camera mounted on the outside of a home, but only when investigating a defined list of property‑related offenses. It sets strict limits on which crimes can be investigated, which databases may be used, and requires independent verification of any matches. The measure also bars use based on personal interest or protected characteristics and excludes improperly obtained results from evidence.
