- GhettoMaestro 7y agoWhen you leave your house and/or are in plain view that does not require tress-passing. This stuff has already been decided. Remember the "Streisand" effect? If you step out in public, anyone can record you or take your photo. Including a government agency. What is going to be interesting is what public entities (agencies) are restricted from doing with said data. I don't see laws being passed restricting everyone from doing facial ID matches (namely private citizens or companies). Nor would I want them. I think it is a hard thing for people to conceptualize that you do not have a bubble of privacy everywhere you go. In certain places (home) you do. Not much elsewhere.
- homonculus1 7y agoThere is a reasonable expectation to not be face-tracked in public just like there is a reasonable expectation for everyone not to be followed 24/7 by undercover officers. In the past law enforcement did have to be told not to do the latter, since it's a total waste of resources, but now the former is cheap enough to actually happen and administrators want the new tech on their resumes. Current precedent is out of date. Free society depends on the people's ability to bend and break unjust laws. It cannot survive the ossification of mass surveillance.
