Regulation 2024/982 implements Prüm II, allowing the automated exchange of facial images, including those of unconvicted suspects, among police forces across Europe via a central router. EDRi has criticized this regulation for being adopted without substantial national debate, raising concerns about privacy and civil liberties.

A Tennessee grandmother, Angela Lipps, was arrested for crimes committed in North Dakota based on AI facial recognition technology, despite her claims of never visiting the state. Fargo police acknowledged "a few errors" in the case and have committed to operational changes.

United States Customs and Border Protection has signed a $225,000 deal for one year of access to Clearview AI, a face recognition tool that compares photos against billions of internet-sourced images. This access will be provided to the Border Patrol’s intelligence division and the National Targeting Center to enhance their data collection and analysis efforts.
