SEGURANÇA OU VIOLAÇÃO DO ESTADO DEMOCRÁTICO DE DIREITO?

Abstract

The following article pursuit the analysis of the use of electronic facial recognition by the public and private companies as a human rights violating tool, especially when used to identify suspected and criminal offenses. Therefore, it is common for these monitoring systems to be susceptible to situations of false positives, mistakenly identifying people who have similar physical characteristics, making security operators believe that these people are to blame for others actions. Many countries have been reducing or limiting the use of these technologies, however, Brazil is going on the opposite direction of it. The research methodology of this work is bibliographic, with consultations to newspaper articles, scientific articles, and national and international documents. The result obtained is that electronic facial recognition, even though it seems beneficial, potentiates situations of prejudice and inequality that endangers historically marginalized portions of the population.
