Facial Recognition

Were they ever a big risk to the innocent?

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?​

They can be. 99% of the time they're good but they aren't perfect and automated proceses are a common way to **** up.

If your employer wants rid of you and they are unethical they'll be able to troll your database and see that you were late in four days in the last month. Did some work on the side without approval and broke some safety rules on X Y and Z. Therefore fired.

Get your act together then.

And don't be late

If you've never done anything wrong you have nothing to fear.

Isn't that what crime fighting tools are meant for?

Or checking where you live for school catchment areas.

Powerful tools, like the right to break into someone's house and search it, should have powerful controls so they aren't abused. Facial recognition doesn't have that.

I have and I've paid the price

And having any store you walk into know that you have and the details of your payment doesn't make you uncomfortable? You may be a better man than me.

I accept it open to abuse. This is where the watchers (operatives) need to be watched. But it good for all sorts of things including missing people.

What would an innocent person fear about being 'tracked'?

Well, it would not really bother me, but some people are paranoid about their privacy.

I very rarely use any cash any more, cards or phone for everything. I would be very easily tracked from my spending trail. It doesn't bother me in the least.

Burglar knows you are not home .Mr road rage can find you.etc etc.

 

[durhamplumber]

Then why should I worry about a visit from the rozzers if I'm innocent?

Mistakes are made

"When they see us"....Netflix......huge miscarriage of justice...Maybe face recognition might have been useful in that case...Trump wanted the death penalty of course.

 

[SirGalahad]

Have you no decency Bodd.

 

[Tigercubrider]

Trump STILL wants the death penalty for those guys, despite the miscarriage of justice being proved.

True to form, they tested the facial recognition system on a mainly white control group. But when put into practice, it can't tell dark skinned people on the system from those who aren't. "They all look alike to it"
So much for community relations.
Same as the SUS and SAS laws. Less than 5% of stopped people have a knife. Ergo around 95% are hacke doff for no reason.

Repeated fails of facial recognition or random stops eventually alienates the population
