Oakland was a pioneer with legislation on this. I recently read that they farm it out to neighboring cities. Fuck OPD.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
"I think the fact that we have different police forces taking different steps raises concerns [about] inequities and how people are treated across the country, but [it] also highlights the continuing importance of some kind of federal action to be taken," she said.
Last month, York and Peel Police in Ontario said they had begun implementing facial recognition technology provided by multinational French company Idemia.
Kevin Nebrija said the tools "help speed up investigations and to identify suspects sooner," adding that in terms of privacy, "nothing has changed because security cameras are all around."
Yet in neighbouring Quebec, Montreal Police Chief Fady Dagher says the force will not adopt such biometric identification tools without a debate on issues ranging from human rights to privacy.
While the federal government doesn't have jurisdiction over provincial and municipal police forces, it can amend the Criminal Code to incorporate legal requirements for facial recognition software in the same way it updated the law to address voice recording technologies that could be used for surveillance.
In 2022, the federal, provincial and territorial heads of Canada's privacy commissions called on lawmakers to establish a legal framework for appropriate use of facial recognition technology, including empowering independent oversight bodies, prohibiting mass surveillance and limiting how long images can be retained in databases.
