The managing director of the International Biometrics And Identity Association states that there are no comprehensive statistics on the number of arrests made after facial recognition technology was installed in private businesses.

  • Facial recognition usage spans government/law enforcement and the private sector
  • Arrest statistics related to facial recognition are not measured or tracked centrally
  • A specific number of arrests cannot be provided due to lack of data
