Police seldom disclose use of facial recognition despite false arrests

1. But they expect us to be honest and forthright at all times.

The Coral Springs Police Department in South Florida instructs officers not to reveal the use of facial recognition in written reports, according to operations deputy chief Ryan Gallagher. He said investigative techniques are exempt from Florida’s public disclosure laws. … “Please do not document this investigative lead,” a department message appended to each photo search result says. … The department would disclose the source of the investigative lead if it were asked in a criminal proceeding, Gallagher added.

They even admit that they would lie until under oath. Which raises the question: how can we trust them to be honest about anything, when it is in their best interest to lie to get what they want?
