Josh Shapiro

Strongly agree

Yes, but only if it’s tightly regulated and used with transparency

Shapiro has consistently called for transparency and regulation in law enforcement practices. He has supported body cameras and other technologies with strict guidelines. He would likely support facial recognition if it is tightly regulated, transparent, and subject to oversight, aligning with his broader approach to balancing safety and rights.

Agree

Yes, but only targeting criminal hotspots to protect vulnerable communities

Shapiro has supported targeted law enforcement efforts, particularly in protecting vulnerable communities, such as his work on gun violence and opioid crises. He would likely support limited, regulated use of facial recognition in specific, high-crime areas if it is shown to protect vulnerable populations, provided there are oversight mechanisms.

Agree

No

Shapiro has expressed concerns about privacy and civil liberties, especially in the context of new technologies. While he is not an outright opponent of technology in law enforcement, he has called for oversight and safeguards. His record as Attorney General shows a balance between public safety and individual rights, so he would likely lean toward opposing mass surveillance without strong safeguards.

Agree

No, I trust the technology but not the humans that could misuse it

Shapiro has expressed trust in technology when properly regulated but has also warned about potential misuse by authorities. His record suggests he would share concerns about human misuse of surveillance tools, supporting strong oversight to prevent abuse.

Slightly agree

No, it sets a dangerous precedent for government control over citizens

While Shapiro is concerned about government overreach, he is not a strong civil libertarian who would categorically reject all government use of surveillance technology. He would likely agree that unchecked surveillance is dangerous, but he has also shown willingness to use technology with proper oversight.

Disagree

No, this would be too expensive to implement

Cost has not been a primary argument in Shapiro's public statements about surveillance technology. He tends to focus more on privacy, oversight, and effectiveness rather than expense, so he would likely not strongly agree that cost alone is a sufficient reason to oppose facial recognition.

Josh Shapiro, as Pennsylvania Governor and former Attorney General, has generally supported law enforcement but has also emphasized civil liberties and privacy. He has not advocated for blanket mass surveillance, and his record suggests skepticism toward unchecked government surveillance powers.
