Amazon bills its Rekognition
image classification system as a “deep learning-based image and video
analysis” system; it markets the system to US police forces for use in
analyzing security camera footage, including feeds from police officers’
bodycams.
The marketing materials circulated to law enforcement touted
Rekognition’s ability to identify up to 100 individuals in a single
photo. Amazon bound the cities it pitched with nondisclosure agreements,
and cities have cited these NDAs in denying public records requests for
details about their plans to use Rekognition.
Amazon’s law enforcement material suggests that its tool could be use to
identify “persons of interest” – not wanted criminals or even
rehabilitated felons, but (for example) protesters and activists that
police intelligence units have decided to target for continuous
scrutiny.
Amazon developed its law-enforcement marketing through cooperation with
the city of Orlando, Florida, where it created a “proof of concept
trial.” It subsequently developed a network of city procurement
officials and encouraged its existing customers to help the company
pitch new business in other cities.
Amazon’s public list of municipal/law enforcement surveillance customers
includes Orlando, and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office in Oregon.

Despite (or perhaps because of) their
formidable size, the Chinese giant salamanders are in trouble. They’re a
prized food in their native country, with some creatures selling for
more than $1,500 apiece.
