The use of facial recognition by police has come under a lot of scrutiny. In part-three of our series, host Jennifer Strong takes you to Sin City, which actually has one of America’s most buttoned-up policies on when cops can capture your likeness. She also finds out why celebrities like Woody Harrelson are playing a starring role in conversations about this technology. 

We meet: 
Albert Fox Cahn, Surveillance Technology Oversight Project
Phil Mayor, ACLU Michigan
Captain Dori Koren, Las Vegas Police 
Assistant Chief Armando Aguilar, Miami Police
