'New York City wouldn’t be the first in the U.S. to have a network of facial recognition cameras for law enforcement. '
'New York City is home to more than 2,000 bridges and tunnels, which are owned by various agencies, including the New York City and state’s Departments of Transportation and Amtrak. '
'In 2013, for instance, the Los Angeles Police Department admitted it had deployed 16 cameras equipped with face recognition software, designed to search for particular suspects. '
'In order to be face recognition compliant they probably have to be pretty high definition.”Cuomo’s office didn’t respond to multiple requests for clarification in the ensuing weeks after his announcement. '
'The state of New York has privately asked surveillance companies to pitch a vast camera system that would scan and identify people who drive in and out of New York City, according to a December memo obtained by Vocativ. '
