At the Lockport City School District in Lockport, N.Y., the surveillance system is being upgraded to a facial recognition system that will check each face against a database of “expelled students, sex offenders and other possible troublemakers,” according to an article by Associated Press that was picked up the week of July 22 by several media outlets, among them FoxNews.com.
Lockport, near Niagara Falls, is purportedly the first U.S. school district to adopt the Aegis system, made by SN Technologies of Ontario (www.sntechnologies.ca/security/).
