Facial Recognition Technology Leads to Kicked Out Girl Scout Mom at Rockettes Show
Lawyer Kelly Conlon was denied entry to a performance of the “Christmas Spectacular” show with the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall in New York City after facial recognition technology spotted her in the lobby. Conlon, who works for a New Jersey based law firm, was flagged by security and told to leave due to her firm’s involvement in personal injury litigation against a venue owned by MSG Entertainment, which operates Radio City Music Hall and produces the annual holiday musical with the Rockettes. Despite not practicing law in New York and not being actively involved in any cases involving MSG, Conlon was unable to see the performance with her Girl Scout troop and was left embarrassed and mortified by the experience.
