NJ Lawyer Denied Entry to Radio City Music Hall Due to Facial Recognition

In a shocking incident, a New Jersey lawyer was denied entry to a show at Radio City Music Hall due to her firm’s involvement in litigation against Madison Square Garden (MSG). The twist? The denial of entry was made possible by facial recognition technology. The lawyer, who wished to remain anonymous, had purchased tickets for the show online and arrived at the venue with her family. Upon arrival, she was stopped by security personnel and informed that she would not be allowed inside due to her firm’s involvement in the MSG litigation. She was then asked to leave the premises immediately. The lawyer expressed shock and disbelief at being denied entry due to her professional affiliations. “I felt violated that my face had been scanned without my knowledge or consent," she said. "It's one thing if I'm on some kind of watch list, but this is something else entirely." When contacted for comment, MSG released a statement saying that they take security seriously and have implemented facial recognition technology as part of their safety protocols. They also added that they reserve the right to deny access based on any information deemed relevant for security purposes. The incident has sparked debate about privacy rights and how far businesses can go when it comes to using facial recognition technology for security purposes. Critics argue that such measures are intrusive and violate basic human rights while proponents argue that it is necessary in order to ensure public safety. Regardless of which side you take on this issue, one thing is certain - this incident has raised important questions about the use of facial recognition technology in public spaces and how it can be used responsibly without infringing upon people’s privacy rights or denying them access based on their professional affiliations.
