The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles uses face recognition but does “not permit any local, state or federal police department or government agency, including ICE, to access its photo database for face recognition purposes.” The DMV does have agreements to share data with the Connecticut, Maryland, and New Jersey Departments of Motor Vehicles, for the purpose of preventing fraud in the Commercial Driver’s License issuing process.
