I assume law enforcement would have access to this also but a hand scan I think is just a vein scan. So I don't know how useful it is to law enforcement but I would be extremely suspicious of large monopolies working with government against citizens. I may be wrong about how useful it is to LE.
- hedora 4y agoIt says you just wave your hand over the scanner, so, even if it is a vein scan, LE could probably start putting similar cameras up to scan passers by without their knowledge. (This would obviously also work for facial recognition, but with existing cameras.) A 1/1,000,000 chance of falsely matching a face is a non-issue for payment validation. For a law enforcement search, it means the computer will auto-fabricate local suspects. Prosecutors in the US are judged on conviction rates. They have no incentive to worry about bogus matches. (And the ones that don't let such things slow them down tend to be promoted.)
