Face recognition in Cardiff

samedi 20 mai 2023 à 09:47

UK thugs plan to use face recognition in the center of Cardiff to find people wanted for various reasons.

The supposed occasion for this is that Beyonce is giving a concert in a stadium in Cardiff. But the facial recognition won't be limited to the stadium and its entrances.

Nor do we know that the tracking and data collection will not extend to everyone else who passes by. In fact, UK ministers are considering running facial recognition on everyone who shows up in a thug's body camera.

The UK is full of cameras, and I suspect many of them are surveillance cameras (images transmitted to some network which can recognize faces later). Those cameras could become, or perhaps already are, the introduction of Chinese-sty;e surveillance in Britain.

That could be, or perhaps already is, part of the system of heightened repression in Britain. Do they use video tracking to figure out who to arrest for planning to walk slowly, or glue perself to the street?

There is no need for the software to gauge a person's ethnicity if it identifies each person against a database that record's per ethnicity.
