Maybe not but if the thieves are recognized automatically the police have a much better chance at recovery.
- lambdadmitry 8y agoSo basically there are two possibilities here: - put pervasive face recog databases on the big majority of the US population in hands of huge multinational companies (because America) so an opulent Joe The Programmer can feel a little extra safety over his stuff, because Those Scary Plebs can steal their Juicero juicer - work on societal problems, reduce the inequality to reduce the risk of robbing and accept whatever risk is left because the societal cost of pervasive corp surveillance is just too high The fact that sizable number of people feel that the former in any way preferable is pretty damning.
- someguydave 8y agoI think this is a false dilemma. It could be that social problems have no solution, and yet also the poor and downtrodden benefit when the rule of law is upheld.
