60% of New York’s 1982 March Against Nuclear Energy Would Have Been Exposed to Facial Recognition
Somewhere around one million demonstrators reportedly congregated around Central Park on June 12, 1982, to show their opposition to nuclear weapons. At the time, the march, which began near the United Nations building, was the largest in U.S. history. If that 1.7-mile march were to occur today, demonstrators would come across at least 12 intersections with public cameras. In total, 60% of their journey would be exposed to facial recognition.
