Facial Recognition Ban on Body Cameras Act

This bill prohibits federal law enforcement agencies from using facial recognition or other remote biometric surveillance technologies (like gait or voice recognition) with body-worn cameras. It directly affects federal law enforcement agencies and state/local governments receiving Byrne grant funding, which requires compliance with similar local bans. The key mechanism bans all use of such technology on footage collected by body cameras - whether during real-time recording or later review - while exempting limited uses like blurring faces for privacy or identifying officers. The bill focuses specifically on preventing body cameras from becoming surveillance tools, not restricting other law enforcement technologies.
