in b4 "why don't they ban street shutting" https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/14/us/facial-recognition-ban-san-francisco.html
‘authorities used the technology to help identify the suspect in the mass shooting at an Annapolis, Md., newspaper last June. But civil liberty groups have expressed unease about the technology’s potential abuse by government amid fears that it may shove the United States in the direction of an overly oppressive surveillance state’. Seriously?
Their fears are not unfounded.
Wow Parx, have you been asleep the last 15 years?
Bro it’s already bad enough that cops fuck over people if they mistake you for somebody worse, now it would be even shittyer if a computer fucked that up
At least from news reports the accuracy on these things is borderline non-existent. I mean it's on par with a coin toss.
Name one case where a surveillance state was a success and didn’t lead to abuse? First point is they’re banning old rules written 10 years ago for very limited tech at the time. The PD wasn’t even using this tech so it doesn’t matter. Facial recognition software has vastly improved since then so we need more rules to be written in how to beat use this technology before is used completely unregulated with old grandfathered in laws. That’s what this effort is. The old laws need to be rewritten is all. Convince me I’m wrong.
