Orlando confirms it's testing Amazon's facial recognition in public

After the ACLU discovered that Orlando's cops are using Amazon's controversial Rekognition facial detection system, police chief John Mina said they're only testing the software at their headquarters. Now, Mina has admitted at a news conference that three of the city's IRIS cameras downtown are also equipped with the software. He insisted that despite Rekognition's presence in public cameras, it can still only track the seven officers who volunteered to test the system. Mina admitted that they could use the software to track persons of interest in the future, but they're "a long way from that." "We test new equipment all the time. We test new guns, new vests, new shields, new things for police cars all the time. That doesn't mean that we're going to go with that particular product. We just want to see if it works."
