Man, 86, accused of assuming dead brother’s identity in 1965 is convicted
- freedude 3y agoFull Title: "Man, 86, accused of assuming dead brother’s identity in 1965 is convicted of several charges" Interesting thing to note: "The facial recognition technology is used by the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles to ensure no one obtains multiple credentials or credentials under someone else’s name"
- freedude 3y agoMaine has one of the most stringent bans on facial recognition. I am curious if this can still be a method for finding multiple credentials issued to the same person as this law was passed in 2021 after this investigation began. https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/maine-enacts-strongest-statewide-facial-recognition-regulations-country https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/maine-enacts-strongest-s...
