There were no signs of any Madison Square Garden officials at the New York City Council's hearing on facial recognition technology Friday, despite it being largely based around the Garden's actions. DougWilliamsTV reports.
State Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal he introduced a bill that would tweak civil rights laws to prevent venues from banning people who have a valid ticket.
"The facial recognition technology system does not retain images of individuals, with the exception of those who were previously advised they are prohibited from entering our venues, or whose previous misconduct in our venues has identified them as a security risk. We utilize facial recognition technology in compliance with all applicable laws," an MSG Entertainment spokesperson told CBS2.
Most council members and members of the public at the hearing agreed the technology could be dangerous in the wrong hands. "If the technology is used in a way where you're flagging certain individuals for some kind of further action, particularly if there could be negative consequences, then that needs to be subject to robust policies and procedures," said Parker.
