Facial Recognition of Everyone All the Time

Post by Fan » 11-20-2012 01:03 PM

In a single second, law enforcement agents can match a suspect against millions upon millions of profiles in vast detailed databases stored on the cloud. It’s all done using facial recognition, and in Southern California it’s already occurring. Imagine the police taking a picture: any picture of a person, anywhere, and matching it on the spot in less than a second to a personalized profile, scanning millions upon millions of entries from within vast, intricate databases stored on the cloud. It’s done with state of the art facial recognition technology, and in Southern California it’s already happening.

You know, the police are humans too. When they become 100% reliant on their digital realities, maybe McAfee - with his feature distorting tampons and shoe polish won't look quite so kooky after all.

Of course, that's assuming law enforcement doesn't go full auto.

SALT LAKE CITY — Mounted on the side of a pair of sunglasses is what Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank says is the future of police work.

The body cameras work like dash cameras already in police cars — they they'll provide an eye-level view of an officers one on one interaction with the public. Burbank says the body cameras are the "wave of the future" when it comes to police work and transparency.

"What better way to document the entire event then an officer wear a camera that sees what the officer sees?" Burbank said.

If Chief Burbank gets his way, these tiny, weightless cameras will soon be on every police officer in the state.

"If Salt Lake City goes this direction, if any agency goes this direction, the expectation is going to be in my mind, that everyone move in this direction," Burbank said.

The issue there is that the cops get monitored as well. We don't want them feeling they can't do their job with the proper gusto.

From the article: "Speaking to reporters with Find Biometrics in August, Rosenkrantz said that the system is already in place in Panama, where computers there process nearly 20 million comparisons per second “using a FaceFirst matching cluster with a large number of live surveillance cameras on a scale beyond any other system ever implemented.”"

I'm surprised no one in the administration or an Obama supporter hasn't screamed "rascist!!" yet........

Yup, it's a brave new world.......

And, in a related article, this one conerning the deployment of drones here inside the United States:

Snippet:

The Federal Aviation Administration is currently considering ground rules that will outline how the FAA can govern domestic drone use, and by 2020 they expect to see 30,000 UAVs soaring through US airspace. Speaking before a House panel on Wednesday, though, Sec. Napolitano suggested that deploying UAVs proactively to put an extra set over locales nowhere near America’s border may in fact be the next move.

Thirty THOUSAND drones compared to what is currently being planned??? If anyone thinks that the Left is out to protect individual's privacy and well-being, they are sadly mistaken and mis-informed. This far exceeds what Bush43 did in his eight years (not that I absolve him of what he did do by any means....)
