Sanders first candidate to call for Ban on facial recognition
Democratic senator Bernie Sanders just became the first presidential candidate to call for a ban on the use of facial recognition software by law enforcement. A spokesperson for the Sanders campaign said in an email that Sanders plans on introducing a national ban on facial recognition that can be enforced on a state and local level.
The call for banning facial recognition was part of a larger plan for law enforcement oversight and criminal justice overhaul, which the campaign published to its website on Sunday. The plan, called Justice and Safety for All, also calls for banning for-profit prisons, ending cash bail, ending solitary confinement, and decriminalizing marijuana.

George Orwell in his book "1984" had it right over 30 years ago. The "Meaning of Big Brother is Watching You. The phrase refers to the governments surveillance of the people with listening devices and cameras, in a totalitarian society, where Big Brother is the head of the totalitarian regime."

I could see a primary debate getting interesting down the line. Of course, perhaps other candidates will agree with these measures.
