Boy, it sure would be annoying if someone started to flood their tip line with fake reports. I'd hate to think of the wasted time they'd have to dedicate investigating each of these claims.
And it'll be ashame to do it in small conservative towns.
Looks like Palantir's shit is already in action...
Wear Juggalo make up. Doubt they are using depth perception. Since that data would probably not be available.
Wearing masks is legal.
... for now.
I'm sure this is completely accurate technology and isn't racist in any way. /S
I'm sure they don't know that and they totally didn't pick this inaccurate method on purpose too /s
It recognizes any race?
Some more accurately than others.
Well, maybe not the Indy 500, but probably would flag the Gran Prix since that's not 'MURICAN!
Than why is it called racism
Because ICE knows that Trump ain't gonna be alive for a whole lot longer, so they're trying to beat the clock in their quest to remove everyone who isn't a White Christian Evangelical from the country. It's a race against time, ergo it's racism.
Dunno how many migrants are white christians? Like if color gives any reason to halt someone over another its wrong, but I don't think there are millions of icelandic people in USA? Statistically it makes no sense.
I'm not American btw
I predict it being ubiquitous one day, where everyone has the ability to id others. It's already a thing in los Angeles. Also, I was just reading about how a person's gait can be used to identify someone, so wearing a mask won't be enough. Technology is just gonna get better.
Try reading my gait when I'm on an escooter/bike/whatever and recognising my face from behind a full face helmet. (I'm just being safe.)
People use reverse image search today to stalk women. It's horrible
Decline to use facial rec at airports due to this shit
They already have your face when you got your license @ your local DMV.
Decline? You think you have a choice?
You actually explicitly do have a choice
Just imagining this and laughing. "Actually gestapo, it's my right to not be disappeared against my will!"
You idiot. I said in my post "decline at the airport" - meaning decline when the TSA asks to do it at airport security Not when ICE tries to take picture on a street
You think TSA (a part of DHS) and ICE (also a part of DHS) are somehow disconnected and not working hand in hand towards the same exact goal?
"Yes, you can opt out of TSA facial recognition"

You can opt out at the airport. That's a fact. Not sure how that relates to whatever you're saying but doesn't matter because whatever you are saying is not relevant to the conversation.
"Well, you know where the exit is."
Considering that the US still does not have any kind of working national census, and only relies of the deeply flawed social security system for a national ID database, I wonder how accurate this system is
Considering they're just looking for a pretext to arrest someone, I think it's accurate enough for them.
They probably just use Facebook + LinkedIn or other public databases. I remember a project on hackaday of someone who did something similar and found with some basic programming, it's definitely possible to get some matches. But that was years ago.
It's not, but it might be enough to reduce the ridiculously high number of erroneous ~~kidnappings~~ detentions. Not that they give enough of a fuck to be embarrassed by their ineptitude, but even they recognize that screwing up so much only serves to give their critics (additional) legitimacy.
False positives are more common than false negatives.
Got it. So everyone wears cardboard cut out masks.
With Trump's face pasted on them.
"Felon detected!"
