LIZ: AMAZON IN A NEW CONTROVERSY
OVER ITS FACIAL RECOGNITION
SOFTWARE TODAY.
ACLU FILING A FREEDOM OF
INFORMATION REQUEST WITH
HOMELAND SECURITY AND I.C.E.
THEY WANT TO SEE ANY DOCUMENTS
ABOUT -- ABOUT I.C.E.'S USE OF
FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE.
LET'S BRING IN JUDGE ANDREW
NAPOLITANO.
WHAT'S YOUR REACTION TO THIS?
>> THE SUPREME COURT RULED WHERE
THERE IS AN EXPECTATION OF
PRIVACY THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO
RESPECT IT.
THERE IS AN EXPECTATION OF
PRIVACY OF YOUR FACE ON A PUBLIC
STREET?
THE ANSWER IS NO.
EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T LIKE
SOMEBODY TAKING A PICTURE OF US
AGAINST OUR WILL, THE GOVERNMENT
CAN DO THIS.
I CAN GIVE YOU A LOT OF REASONS
WHY THEY SHOULD NOT BE USING
FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE, BUT
THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT ONE.
LIZ: CAN WE USE THE CONSTITUTION
AND SAY YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO
USE MY IMAGE?
>> NO, AS LONG AS YOU ARE IMAGE
WAS TAKEN IN A PUBLIC PLACE.
IF THEY TAKE AN IMAGE OF YOU IN
YOUR BEDROOM, THEY VIOLATED YOUR
RIGHTS.
BUT IF THEY TAKE AN IMAGE ON THE
STREETS THEY CAN USE IT.
THIS IS BEYOND ANYTHING ORWELL
IMAGINED IN 1984.
LIZ: THE ACLU IS WAY UP IN ARMS
ABOUT THIS.
>> THERE WAS NO PUBLIC DEBATE.
LIZ: THE ACLU TEST DROVE AM
ZONLS SOFTWARE AND FOUND 28
CONGRESSMEN WERE MATCHED
WRONGFULLY TO CRIMINAL MUG
SHOTS.
THIS IS FAULTY SOFTWARE.
>> IT'S FAULTY SOFTWARE AND
DANGEROUS.
HUMAN FREEDOM, WHETHER YOU CAN
CROSS THIS BORED AND MAKE AN
APPLICATION FOR ASYLUM IS BEING
DETERMINED BY SOFTWARE THAT
DOESN'T AND IS DRACONIAN.
LIZ: WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS OUT
OF THE "NEW YORK TIMES" THAT
CHINESE AND RUSSIAN SPIES HAVE
BEEN SPYING ON PRESIDENT TRUMP
VIA HIS iPHONE, PICK UP ON
WHAT THE "NEW YORK TIMES" SAYS
IS HIS GOES UP, TALKING TO HIS
FRIEND.
WHAT IS THE IMPLICATION OF THIS?
>> THE IMPLICATION OF THIS I AM
SORRY TO SAY IS THE SAME
IMPLICATION THE PRESIDENT USED
AS A BATTERING RAM AGAINST
MRS. CLINTON WHEN HE RAN AGAINST
HER.
THE FAILURE TO SAFEGUARD STATE
SECRETS.
IS PRESIDENT TRUMP GUILTY OF THE
SAME CRIMES FOR WHICH HE ALLEGED
MRS. CLINTON WAS GUILTY?
LIZ: WE DON'T KNOW THAT.
>> WE DON'T KNOW IF HE'S GOING
TO ADMIT THIS OR IF IT'S
ACCURATE.
LIZ: WHY IS THE "TIMES" GETTING
THIS STORY AND THE PRESIDENT NOT
BEING PROTECTED.
THE "TIMES" IS OUT THERE WITH
THE STORY.
WHY ISN'T IT ABOUT PROTECTING
PRESIDENT TRUMP FIRST.
>> ACCORDING TO ONE OF THE
PIECES WE JUST GOT, GENERAL
KELLY AND HIS CLOSE AIDES, I CAN
GUESS HOT OTHERS ARE.
HAVE BEEN WARNING HIM FOR MONTHS
NOT TO DO THIS.
HE ENJOYS CALLING PEOPLE ON THE
iPHONE.
IF THAT IS TRUE, THEN HE WAS ON
NOTICE THAT HE IS REVEALING
THINGS ABOUT HIS PERSONALITY AND
HIS PLANS AND MAYBE THINGS THAT
ARE SECRET IN A WAY THAT HIS
ADVERSARIES CAN HEAR.
I MEAN OUR ENEMIES, SWORN
ENEMIES, PRESIDENT EXIRKS AND
PRESIDENT PUTIN.
WE HAVE TO READ THE FULL STORY
AND SEE IF THE WHITE HOUSE
AGREES.
THE HEADLINE THIS EVENING COMING
