Face Recognition Tech Gets Girl Scout Mom Booted From Rockettes Show — Due to Where She Works
NBC New York ^ | 19 Dec 2022 | Sarah Wallace

Posted on 12/20/2022 8:38:55 AM PST by DUMBGRUNT

Kelly Conlon and her daughter came to New York City the weekend after Thanksgiving as part of a Girl Scout field trip to Radio City Music Hall to see the Christmas Spectacular show. But while her daughter, other members of the Girl Scout troop and their mothers got to go enjoy the show, Conlon wasn't allowed to do so.

That's because to Madison Square Garden Entertainment, Conlon isn't just any mom. They had identified and zeroed in on her, as security guards approached her right as he got into the lobby.

"They knew my name before I told them. They knew the firm I was associated with before I told them. And they told me I was not allowed to be there," said Conlon.

Conlon is an associate with the New Jersey based law firm, Davis, Saperstein and Solomon, which for years has been involved in personal injury litigation against a restaurant venue now under the umbrella of MSG Entertainment.

"I don’t practice in New York. I’m not an attorney that works on any cases against MSG," said Conlon.

But MSG said she was banned nonetheless — along with fellow attorneys in that firm and others.

Pigs can get fat, but hogs get slaughtered.

Stung by a wasp? Poke the wasp nest with your finger; that should work!

Guessing that every step using the facial recognition tool was overseen by a gaggle of attorneys.

All she has to do to rejoin proper society is improve her Employer Social Score.

They are also collecting voice print data.

The Deep State is closing in on tracking every individual wherever they are, and knowing in real time whatever they are doing.

(Oddly, except for whoever planted the pipe bombs the night before J6. Huh.)

I had more of an issue with this lady because she’s involved with the pro-abort Girl Scout organization.

This gives me mixed feelings.

Girl Scouts
Rockettes Show
Lawyer
Facial Recognition

That facial recognition usage bothers me the most.

Even overpowers the Lawyer factor.

Ever been to a Dallas Mavericks game? Cuban and Co. use facial recognition on everyone in the place and track all their movements and buying habits. He does the same thing at other places.

Wal-Mart has the same kind of junk in some stores.

—”Wal-Mart has the same kind of junk in some stores.”

Walmart is facing a class action suit for allegedly violating an Illinois privacy law by using surveillance cameras and Clearview AI’s facial recognition database

The Illinois’s Biometric Information Privacy Act, which protects Illinois residents from having pictures of faces sold without their consent, was cited in a suit against Facebook, now Meta. In 2020, the company was hit with a $550 million fine in a settlement agreement.

American Big Tech firms created all of this technology and then traded it all to China where it's getting beta-tested, troubleshot, fixed, and fine-tuned, and then it'll come back our way to be used on us.

Yeah, this facial recognition bothers me too. Someone had to go in and place every individual in all of the “naughty” firms in there. That sounds pretty invasive to me. I wonder if face paint, glitter or some make-up might throw it off? Even a partial prosthetic mask, which isn’t too obvious.

I'm sure Illinois is the ONLY state Wal-Mart used this.

A typo or a sneaky way to reveal something???... "They had identified and zeroed in on her, as security guards approached her right as he got into the lobby. "

For the past year or so I’ve been receiving phone calls from all over and when I pick up there’s nobody on the other side, just silence. When I try to call those numbers back, it tells me that they are all non-working numbers.

So recently I’ve quit answering any phone call I don’t recognize and the calls started tapering off after a few weeks. Makes me wonder if those calls were to track my location or to get a voice print. I’m just a nobody who presents no threat to anyone, so I can’t figure out who would bother monitoring me, but what else could it be?

How about the law firm puts up strategically altered photos of their employees on their website?

Tune them so the facial recognition points are incorrect.

This is worth a couple of mil research proposal.

Yes, you see where ESG is going. I am currently in the process of distancing my business transactions from any company associated with ESG.

It is surprising to me how many seemingly unrelated companies are doing so.

So far I have only noticed banks, investment firms and insurance companies. But I have not extended my search past that.

Will see where this goes. I’m trying to localize all my service providers as much as possible.

Futile effort? We shall see. There are 4 states that are already acting on this.

“receiving phone calls from all over”

No, not from all over. It is easy to spoof the caller ID and make it look like you are getting calls from all over. They used to be from my local exchange. Then nearby exchanges. Then my Area Code. Then nearby area codes. Now many of them say “United States” and I recently started getting them from Greece, Switzerland, and CUBA!

I’ve been hesitant to use NoMoRobo on my phone because it routes all calls through their system to dump the junk. I used NoMoRobo for years on our landline and it was somewhat effective. But I think I now need to add it to my mobile number.

My phone is on Do Not Disturb from 9 pm to 8 am and I can only get calls from family or if somebody calls right back a second time. Within 30 minutes of the 8 am expiration of Do Not Disturb, the junk calls start.

It is weird how the line is silent. “Getting a voice print” is a good guess. I occasionally answer the phone and don’t say a word for that exact reason. 99% of the time I click the “Cancel” button to dump the call.

Winston was right about many things.

Gallipoli was not one of them.
