The normative argument advanced in this article, that Brazil should adopt an unconditional prohibition on real-time remote biometric identification for law enforcement purposes, emerges from this multi-layered analysis. It represents a recognition that some technologies, when deployed within contexts of structural inequality, are fundamentally incompatible with constitutional guarantees of non-discrimination. The mass surveillance infrastructure required to make FRT operational cannot be rendered non-discriminatory through technical improvements or procedural safeguards when its very deployment reflects and reinforces existing patterns of racialized enforcement.
