Under the bill, the defense establishment would have access to information captured by the cameras and would be able to use it without a court order. The bill aims “to regulate aspects of the installation and use by the Israel Police of special photographic systems in the public space. The glaring problem with the bill is its reliance on the police in guaranteeing the facial recognition data won’t be misused. The other groups the police would be using these cameras on intensively are demonstrators, right-wingers, left-wingers, Haredim, Arabs, and knitted yarmulkes.
