United States Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) suggested in a Congressional hearing on the use of facial recognition technology by law enforcement officials Wednesday that facial recognition software should be used to identify "people that are here illegally," according to Gizmodo. The Representative who previously drew criticism for saying that Americans who can't afford healthcare should just give up their iPhones, is the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Chaffetz's comment on the facial recognition software was in reference to the FBI's use of databases that have more than 400 million American's faces. Representative Chaffetz argued Wednesday that the databases are a privacy concern that could spread to the limiting of certain citizen's rights. He also suggested that if the databases were smaller, or limited "to known criminals, wanted criminals, people that are here illegally, maybe those are the types of things that we should be focused on, as opposed to everybody," they would be more useful because it would be easier for the software to accurately identify people.
