Premise 1 = good. Premise 2 = bad. Both can be true, good & bad, simultaneously. Good that a child was rescued. Bad that bio-metrics are stored indefinitely

Premise 1 = good. Premise 2 = bad.
Both can be true, good & bad, simultaneously.
Good that a child was rescued.
Bad that bio-metrics are stored indefinitely without knowledge or consent of those whose bio-metrics were essentially stolen and waiting to be leaked or used for nefarious purposes.
No citizens voted for this indefinite capture. No citizens voted on length of storage, type of storage, sharing options, or security of said indefinite captures.
This is bad. ALL BAD.

- rangerelf 3y agoI disagree. Drunk driving is treated like a joke, some harmless "Oops", but it's not. Also it's a personality fair: someone who is ok with driving drunk is a candidate for worse things. I for one think it's a good thing to keep their biometrics on hand for _WHEN_ that happens. And if people are found to be abusing this information, prosecute them for it.
- imchillyb 3y agoI didn’t mention any specific charge, or crime, purposely. The indefinite biometric capture is the topic. Indefinitely retained biometric capture is inherently bad; period. There is no scenario where governments can be trusted with that data, especially if it never expires is never deleted and can become ammunition for opposing views.
