Background

In 2020, we filed public records requests with various police departments throughout Massachusetts, seeking information about Clearview AI, a facial recognition company. The Oxford Police Department provided records indicating the Oxford PD activated a Clearview account, though it is unclear whether they continued to use it after the pilot ended. Responsive records also include some screen captions of Clearview.
