Yes but there's a difference between reviewing evidence and using mass facial recognition software to scour literally everything.

- hef19898 6y agoOh, it definitely is. Going through public material or videos provided as evidence, even using facial recognition, after a crime is IMHO ok. Preemptively recording everything, and using facial recognition right from the bat, is very different. The latter shouldn't be acceptable in a free and democratic society.
- breakfastduck 6y agoAbsolutely agree with your second point, but still not sure I'm comfortable using it 'post crime' so to speak.
- hef19898 6y agoMe neither. We now have surveillance capabilities like never before, stuff the Gestapo, Stasi or the NKVD couldn't even dream about. Funny enough we are mostly using it to sell adds. Until you look at China and their surveillance activities. I do not want any of that. Especially if all that can be replaced by proper police work. Like unbiased investigation, arresting people (just imagine if authorities had arrested all the insurectionists right on the spot). I am afraid so, that we will have more surveillance and not less.
