Motorola Warns Customers To "Consult Your Legal Advisor" Over Avigilon Appearance Search
Motorola sent a letter to customers "encouraging" them to "consult your legal advisor" over the legality of Avigilon Appearance Search.
This comes as municipalities are ramping up legal restrictions against facial recognition and other video analysis technology, e.g., IPVM's recent coverage - 17 US Cities Boycotting Products That Include Facial Recognition.
Inside this note, we examine Motorola's letter, Motorola's response to IPVM, and how Avigilon Appearance Search may or may not be regulated.
