And if by chance you have the same recognition points as say Charlie Manson, or some criminal on the run???
What could go wrong?
Yesterday a N.Y. Cop shot and killed a kid running out of his folks store that was being robbed,
Anyone that has any confidence in our vaunted fbi is a fool.
Travis McGee,
I know a few law enforcement officers.
None are Mensa members.
It won't take a few years for Facebook, as there are already apps for that. They've almost certainly already done it, but didn't tell anyone.
Don’t most of these systems require a good look at eyes?
Let’s start with the polling places and watch the Dims heads explode!
Oh yeh, I like that idea too! It'll cost us in taxes when they keep putting them up, but that would just give us more opportunities to make those statement. Where can we come up with the kind of people who could or would do such a thing? Wait, it's coming to me, Penn State Student Rioters! They have the experience, and need something to do! If we could only channel their energy into an anti-police-state-mission rather than their usual anarchist anger, we'd have it made and solve two problems at once. Humor, a tool for dealing with strong emotions in ones' self...
“Someone will have to look into whether those would cover enough to spoof the software.”
I’m sure they would! “If the nose don’t fit. you must acquit!”
The telescreens supposedly are here in the modern TV - big brother IS watching you.
This line was used on me by Verizon when I canceled the data account, removed the battery from my Android*, and took it to the range. My response (Which was a waste of time) was
"Because it happens to be MY information, good or bad, and it is not for someone else to sell or steal!"
* It's a long story, but I caught it at lots of nasty stuff. It is NOT your friend.
If you are working to elect, or are, a Tea Party candidate get them to pledge to defund and defang the police state.
As RT reported earlier this week, the city of Los Angeles now considers photography in public space “suspicious”...
If I take photographs in public, that's "suspicious," but if government does the exact same thing, that's "fighting the War on Terror?" Is that right?
Do these people get born that stupid and arrogant, or go to school for it?
The way facial recognition works is by looking at landmarks on the face, like distance between eyes, width of the nose, etc. See the link.
You also have iris systems, which look at the pattern of the iris of your eye, and require a good look at the eye. Those, as laid out in the link at my post #27, can scan your eye at a range of 12 meters, currently.
If you have a modern digital camera, you may notice the feature which recognizes faces, so it can set the focus on the face. Take that camera software, and slightly modify it so that when it sees a face, zooms in on the eye.
The ultimate big brother surveillance system.
“Do these people get born that stupid and arrogant, or go to school for it?”
They went to public school which, for decades, has been populated with communist union teachers so it should come as no surprise we have public employees who like this intrusion, we have a media giving them cover, we have colleges and universities filled with filthy communist professors.
What were we thinking giving multiple generations of young minds to government? What the hell did we think would happen?
IMO, there is no hope of restoring this country to the path set forth by the founders as Fedzilla has gotten too large to fail.
They're already starting to gather DMV photos. When I got my license renewed this year, they made me remove my glasses for the photo. That surprised me because in the past, they always made us wear our glasses for the photo if we needed to wear them in the first place.
When I asked why she wanted me to take them off this time, she said it was for the Homeland Security facial recognition purposes. I grumbled something about "Big Brother" so she'd know I wasn't happy about it.
..........Well, Iris Recognition puts a crimp in the Groucho glasses idea; I’m back to the face scarf or niqab............
Quite a few years ago, when trying to get to a client on the other side of Boston, in horrendous traffic, we would place a wig on the back seat head rest, with our jacket draped over the top of the seat.
As we entered the HOV zipper lane, the cop looked for three of us in the car - and stared alot -, but it always worked like a charm, and we got to the client by 8AM.
With cameras, I’ll have to rethink my strategy; maybe putting a veiled muzzie in the back seat would work!
any computer software can be hacked into, .GOV can’t prevent it
