我要评论The FBI quietly developed a facial recognition network that allows law enforcement to identify people in the United States without their knowledge. 。
Now lawmakers want to know why the agency didn't tell people about it.。

Government overreach 。
Rep. Paul Mitchell, a Republican from Michigan, seemed personally offended by the lack of disclosure. 。
"I wasn't informed that when my driver's license was renewed, my photograph was going to be in a repository that could be searched by law enforcement across the country," he said. 。
Rep. John Duncan worried the U.S. was becoming a "federal police state," but he needn't have mentioned "federal." Major local police departments are already using the technology. Some are exploring "real time" facial recognition synced with surveillance cameras. 。
Overall, several representatives felt this was the number one problem: the FBI didn't really tell anyone they were using facial recognition. The Department of Justice created a "privacy impact assessment" in 2008 and is legally required to update the assessment "whenever agencies develop technologies that collect personal information," according to the GAO report. That didn't happen. 。
Despite the outrage in Congress today, one of the hearing's conclusions was that the FBI will "continue to pursue" what's called a "memorandum of understanding" with motor vehicle departments across the country to add driver's license photos to their database. 。
