GAO: FBI has fallen short on assessing the privacy risks and accuracy of facial recognition database. The FBI’s Next Generation Identification-Interstate Photo System allows law enforcement agencies to search a database of more than 30 million photos of 16.9 million people. Minnesota Democrat Al Franken: “I am concerned about the risk of innocent Americans being inadvertently swept up in criminal investigations” The FBI says the system is not used for positive identification of a criminal suspect, but instead “provides a gallery of likely candidates” to be used as investigative leads.”]
