If this was true at any point, it's likely been solved. Then again, you can always just wear a big floppy hat.

People have been brainwashed into thinking they need to give up their privacy for better "security".
This! People had no idea the sh** storm coming their way after 911. First it began with police being able to just snatch people from their neighborhoods and detain them for days, weeks, months, etc., and not let their families know anything. It just snowballed from there.
People have already been wrongly arrested due to faulty facial recognition software. They now have it at the airport. They don't ask for your boarding pass, they ask you to look into the camera. God forbid the camera recognizes you as someone else. This also means that the government is sharing biometric data with private corporations. This doesn't bother some of you. WHY? And this is just the beginning; easy pass/street cameras/kiosks everywhere will be mistaking you for someone else when you walk or drive by.
There was a time when the ACLU would have been all over this and fought to the bitter end to get these cameras removed from public spaces.
I just have a feeling the people who are under the most surveillance in this country, black men, will get no rest. It's like they will be followed everywhere they go and arrested for every paranoid reason. It's enough with people doing it (in stores, outside train stations, in neighborhoods, etc.) and then to have technology following you everywhere you go and if you are deemed a threat, the police will be called. I say everywhere because if corporations get access, you will be in every system.
One of the reasons you don't see so many cops pounding the beat any longer is the vast increase of cameras everywhere. Both those installed by city and or on private property.
Usually first or second thing NYPD (or any LE nowadays) does after something goes down is to review all surveillance camera footage in area.
This has helped solve many crimes rather quickly. Case in point a woman was attacked on CPW last year; NYPD found and arrested suspect who lived literally around the corner and down block in a supportive/half way house. They found him by tracking where he went after attack as recorded by camera footage from buildings along CPW and side streets.
A few weeks ago some eegit held up a Duane Reade overnight; again NYPD was able to find and make an arrest in about under 48 hours by using camera footage.
The people on Wall Street need to be on fu***** surveillance. I'm tired of them getting away with all their crimes while black and Hispanic people are being harassed and incarcerated left to right over the stupid War on Drugs sh**.

I don't know if a post describing capturing criminals using surveillance is the best soap box for your argument.

I love the race baiting in a thread with no relevance to it.
Anyways, if you look at this logically rather than in an unhinged fashion you'd come to the conclusion that true facial recognition tech does not care what color you are or what your ethnicity is.
It only cares to match you against its database, and there's no human discretion, which actually eliminates any form of racial bias. True facial recognition should actually help law enforcement make decisions based off intelligence rather than some sort of prejudice or instinct.
You don't have to like facial recognition tech, but you should at least be logical enough to understand that it's able to eliminate racial bias vs. human discretion.
It's worse than that. Apart from the fact that the kiosks have two cameras which they never bothered to announce, they apparently use your information, too.
There was a terrific article in the Village Voice by Nick Pinto, and I think some people are mobilizing against the kiosks.
And can I add that the kiosks themselves a horrible in terms of design?
