There are already facial recognition cameras in the subways, and likely newer buses.
These slabs definitely have cameras. Someone vandalized a few recently, and stills from the cameras were released to the media. But if they're tracking anything, it's more likely your wifi, especially if you use them.
The paranoid schizophrenics who are worried about being tracked are nothing and nobody to track.
What would the city find out, some drunk went to the liquor store or bar, then went to the corner store for cigs? Oh, and then took the subway to work? Then did a booty call?
Now why would the government pay someone to monitor all that?
Don´t forget to take your medication and put on the tin foil hats.
People have already been wrongly arrested due to faulty facial recognition software. They now have it at the airport. They don't ask for your boarding pass, they ask you to look into the camera. God forbid the camera recognizes you as someone else. This also means that the government is sharing biometric data with private corporations. This doesn't bother some of you. WHY? And this is just the beginning; easy pass/street cameras/kiosks everywhere will be mistaking you for someone else when you walk or drive by.
There was a time when the ACLU would have been all over this and fought to the bitter end to get these cameras removed from public spaces.
There is flaw to the face recognition software, as long as you know what to do, you can always beat the softwares is not that difficult. So, don’t be afraid of it, let them see you in plain sight, and do what you have to do.
they need to stop tracking people. it's never that serious, and has been proven not to work in quashing counter terrorism. wasn't sh** they could do when 9/11 happened

That ship has sailed long ago.
One of the reasons you don't see so many cops pounding the beat any longer is the vast increase of cameras everywhere. Both those installed by city and or on private property.
Usually first or second thing NYPD (or any LE nowadays) does after something goes down is to review all surveillance camera footage in area.
This has helped solve many crimes rather quickly. Case in point a woman was attacked on CPW last year; NYPD found and arrested suspect who lived literally around the corner and down block in a supportive/half way house. They found him by tracking where he went after attack as recorded by camera footage from buildings along CPW and side streets.
A few weeks ago some eegit held up a Duane Reade overnight; again NYPD was able to find and make an arrest in about under 48 hours by using camera footage.
