The goal is a very high false positive rate.
They have to let the fascist do what they want in the imperial core. Not a suprise. Eventualy though when the bottom falls out they will have to worry about “the sons of the soil” and the blowback… The fascist are the suckers of the imperial capitalist… the turds gonna get burned. We all gonna get burned in the clownshow circus that is merica
When an officer scans someone’s face, the app will run their face against a database of more than 250 million DHS and State Department records, and then provide instructions to the officer. Either “not detain or arrest under ICE jurisdiction,” or the app will provide a reference code the officer can use to get additional information from ICE.
Oh hey, I think I know the algorithm they use
All kidding aside, the worst part of all this is that we all know there are false positives, but we also know how these ICE goons (and their LEO friends) operate. They will take the word of the app as gospel, and if someone falsely tagged by the app says they are wrong and produces their valid ID, the goons will confiscate it, saying the app can’t be wrong and the ID must be fake.
250 million records
340 million Americans
How much you wanna bet if you don’t show up in the database, you get sent to the camps?
The app is never wrong + you can’t see the results it totally says you’re an illegal = free abductions to a concentration camp
That crazy to see them going full Nazi. Repeating the playbook and all and life continue as ever. I am not american bu ti guess that what would a farmer fell when he heard They were extermination camps in Germany.
Not to mention that all these facial recognition programs are absolute shit at correctly identifying PoC.
Ah, automated racial profiling
The ONLY thing the Constitution ALLOWS us to do is MURDER CHILDREN just as the Founders Intended!
-LITERALLY Every Republican including John Fetterman!
This just makes it incredibly easy to flag anyone for any hidden reason for detaining so of course this is the plan.
We scan our faces to go into Disneyland, we scan our faces to go into stadiums, we scan our faces to get IDs, we scan our faces to get into the airport terminal. There’s no point in fighting it anymore.
You’re right that cameras are everywhere now. And I think we are past the point as a society where people think that someone who takes your picture steals your soul or anything.
But facial recognition implies identification, for some purpose. Like entering a country as a non-citizen. Countries have a responsibility to make sure that people who visit are who they say they are, and are not using stolen credentials. Modern biometrics make this much easier (and faster). The last time I entered the UK from the US, I checked in at a kiosk. They scanned my passport, took my picture, made sure I had the proper paperwork, and sent me along without talking to a human.
But other countries that do this all acknowledge that the facial recognition may fail. That stand of 20 or so kiosks did have humans watching them, and if someone’s biometrics failed to identify them they would still get talked to by a human, just like in the past.
But that is not what ICE is doing. They are using the facial recognition in order to grab people more efficiently, and give them an excuse to ignore people’s valid identification. That’s why the fact that these recognition technologies have a higher failure rate for PoC is not a bug for them, it’s a feature. They ignore lawful documentation, and confiscate it. Then, when that person finally gets released, they keep the documentation, ensuring that at the next encounter they will not have any way to escape.
This is not supposed to happen in America. I had an uncle who fought in WWII, shit like this is what he was fighting, back when we were the good guys.
Don’t forget your kneepads bitch.
Nah, he deserves the knee pain.
I’m not okay with any of those things.
Who the fuck is we?
Yeah im still not okay with this
Because having a driver license is the same as letting a fascist regime round people up.
They already have our license data, good luck being a sovereign citizen.
You have money to go to do Disney and Stadium events. Why are you still in America? Run. Now. Like right now start filling out applications abroad.
Make a friend in LA and Stadiums don’t always cost 1k like at your Sabrina Carpenter shows I’m sure you hit up every chance you get.
I have done none of those things and won’t be doing them if that’s what’s required.
NOPE - have not done any of those things and will not.
