God they're always such whinging fucking pussies any time they have to deal with the same shit as anyone else in fucking society.

“They’re going to extend that to their NFL family partners to use your information should they need to. That branches into a lot of places that your biometric data could be exposed to, a lot of people that you may not want it to be.” Grammas says raises fears that biometric data – i.e., a selfie – could fall into the hands of “people who are anti-cop, that support a different agenda from what law and order supports.”

Literally cry me a fucking river when you yourself constantly use facial recognition to drum up cases.

Cops are the biggest fucking pussies you can find. They need body armor to even step outside of their Safe Space of the Precinct building.

Don’t forget that the NFL isn’t just using this tech for their employees/security. It’ll also be used for ANYONE entering any stadium. I see they are trying to backtrack the use of this tech in recent articles, but they already have a plan in place:

Enhancing Fan Experience and Operational Efficiency

Beyond security, the NFL also aims to improve the fan experience through facial recognition technology. The Cleveland Browns, a pioneer in adopting this technology, have already showcased its potential for expedited ticket entry and beverage purchases. By using facial biometrics, fans can enjoy quicker access to the stadium and reduced wait times at concession stands.

The league’s decision to adopt facial recognition technology aligns with a broader industry trend. Other major sports leagues, including the NBA, MLB, MLS, and NHL, have also embraced similar technologies to enhance security and improve fan experience.

Cops are civilians, and should be treated as such.

Should be...

No, they're public servants

Yeah, they serve beat downs and injustice.

I'm pro-union except for police unions. We should be setting guillotines aside for them as well.
