There's no way to eradicate biometric tech, there's no way law enforcement will stop using biometrics, the only thing we can ask for it more transperency how the biometric data is used, processed and stored. No hidden fingerprinting, no unknown-quality proprietary software and hardware, extra-strict quality and integrity controls. The genie is out of the bottle and we can only hope not to wish for the genie not to maliciously comply with our wishes.
- mises 7y agoI don't buy any "transparency". Any time I hear that word, I jump to the idea that it is being used to mask something by releasing most things. I don't really care how it's used, processed, stored, etc.; I care that it is. The feds want a biometric database of every American that can be used to track, monitor, and regulate movement. We were supposed to live in a nation where law enforcement didn't watch us unless we were a suspect in a crime. This stuff makes everyone a suspect. The idea of "transparency" only works if we have some way to verify it (which we don't) and if we can punish politicians or bureaucrats for abuses. We can barely fire bureaucrats as-is, how will we do it in the future? And politicians never get punished for mishandling a few cases.
