Talk about bad PR for Google Glass. Already, the article has been amended with the notice '(This version of the story has been corrected to change headline to show recognition database software developed by police not Google)'. I don't imagine Google will be advertising this use case if they ever do a keynote on Glass again.

- zak_mc_kracken 12y agoThere is no added invasion of privacy here, just automating face recognition. In effect, you seem to be opposed to replacing brain processing with computer processing, which is squarely on the wrong side of history. This is going to happen, whether we like it or not. Banning it is a stopgap, we just need to start working on regulating it and defining the boundaries of such practices.
