On the plus side, such technology will allow one to identify people who work as cops.\
\
\"Wolfcom, a company that makes technology for police, is pitching body cameras with live facial recognition to law enforcement groups across the United States, OneZero has learned. It's a move that pushes against industry norms: Axon, the largest manufacturer of body cameras in the United States, declared last year that it would not put the invasive technology in its hardware, citing "serious ethical concerns." NEC, which sells live facial recognition elsewhere in the world, has also not sold it to U.S. law enforcement.\
\
Wolfcom claims to have sold body cameras to at least 1,500 police departments, universities, and federal organizations across the country. It has been developing live facial recognition for the Halo, Wolfcom's newest body camera model, according to documents and a video obtained by OneZero through public records requests.\"
