Vegas police say NFL access policy compromises officers' privacy

LAS VEGAS -- Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and union officials said they object to NFL access policies to certain areas of Allegiant Stadium, and the union has urged its officers to not work Raiders home games after this weekend if the new arrangement remains in place.

The NFL is using facial-recognition technology this season for those credentialed for games, including for players, media and vendors. The Las Vegas Police Protective Association, with the backing of the department, said they are concerned such technology compromises the officers' privacy.

Police have asked the NFL to let officers wear wristbands, as has been the case in previous seasons.
