Facial Recognition Tech Could Ensnare Millions Of Innocent Americans For Crimes They Didn�t

Commit

It�s often the case that new technologies arrive on the scene faster than our society

and its legal code can keep up.

Sometimes this can be a good thing.

For instance, 3D printing allows people to print out unregulated gun parts, thus allowing

gun owners to circumvent the onerous laws of our government, which has struggled to

come up with new laws to restrict the technology.

When technology advances at a breakneck pace however, it can also be quite dangerous for

our liberties.

This is especially true in regards to privacy.

If a new technology makes it easy for the government to track us, you can bet that the

government is going to take its sweet time updating the legal code in a way that will

protect us from surveillance.

That certainly seems to be the case with facial recognition software.

During a recent Congressional Oversight Committee hearing, members of both political parties

sounded the alarm on the FBI�s use of the technology, and read the written testimony

of Electronic Frontier Foundation senior staff attorney Jennifer Lynch:

Lynch detailed the stunning scope of the FBI�s photo collection.

In addition to collecting criminal and civil mug shots, the agency currently has �memorandums

of understanding� with 16 states that mean every driver�s license photo from those

states is accessible to the agency�without the drivers� consent.

The FBI also has access to photos from the U.S. State Department�s passport and visa

records.

Lynch argued that �Americans should not be forced to submit to criminal face recognition

searches merely because they want to drive a car.

They shouldn�t have to worry their data will be misused by unethical government officials

with unchecked access to face recognition databases.

And they shouldn�t have to fear that their every move will be tracked if face recognition

is linked to the networks of surveillance cameras that blanket many cities.�

�But without meaningful legal protections, this is where we may be headed,� Lynch stated.

�Without laws in place, it could be relatively easy for the government and private companies

to amass databases of images of all Americans and use those databases to identify and track

people in real time as they move from place to place throughout their daily lives.�

All told, law enforcement agencies around the country have access to 400 million photos

in facial recognition databases, which are connected to roughly 50% of American adults.

Most of these people have never committed a crime, and obviously haven�t given any

consent to this.

At first glance it may sound harmless to be in one of these databases.

Movies and TV shows make it sound like this technology can help law enforcement swiftly

and precisely nab suspects.

So what do you have to fear if you haven�t committed a crime?

It turns out that in real life, facial recognition is far from perfect.

Internal FBI documents obtained in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by the nonprofit

Electronic Privacy Information Center indicate that the FBI�s own database, called the

Next Generation Identification Interstate Photo System, or NGI-IPS, had an acceptable

margin of error of 20 percent � that is, a 1-in-5 chance of �recognizing� the wrong

person.

And research published in the October 2015 issue of the scientific journal PLOS ONE by

researchers at the universities of Sydney and New South Wales in Australia found that

the humans who interpret such data build in an extra error margin approaching 30 percent.

If we ever allow our government to roll out facial recognition cameras on a wider scale,

lots of innocent people are going to be hurt.

Whether by mistake or by malice, it will become shockingly easy for law enforcement to identify

ordinary people as criminals.

The surveillance control grid will not only be inescapable, it will be unwieldy and rife

with abuse.

It�s often said that you should never trade freedom for safety.

In this case, we wouldn�t receive any kind of safety.

Hispanic Owned Businesses Dominate Bids For Trump's 'Xenophobic' Border Wall - Duration: 4:28.

Hispanic-Owned Businesses Dominate Bids For Trump's 'Xenophobic' Border Wall

by Tyler Durden

Trump's proposed border wall has been described by many of the left as everything from "xenophobic"

to just plain "racist" and pretty much everything in between. That said, perhaps "equal opportunity

employer" would be more accurate in light of a new analysis from the Wall Street Journal

that took a look at who has submitted bids to help construct the wall so far...in a little

dose of irony for the left, hispanic-owned businesses currently lead the charge with

32 bids.

More than 200 companies have expressed interest in submitting plans to help design and build

a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, as the Trump administration seeks to fulfill

a key campaign promise despite significant obstacles.

The companies, whose names were published on a federal contracting website, vary widely

in size and capability�from construction giants like Kiewit Corp. to smaller, family-owned

businesses.

Among those interested at this early stage are more than three dozen businesses owned

by minorities, a Wall Street Journal analysis shows. Roughly 13% of the companies expected

to submit proposals for the wall, for example, are owned by Hispanics.

Border Wall

One such immigrant-owned business bidding on the border wall is run by Mario Burgos

whose father immigrated to the U.S. from Ecuador.

Mario Burgos, the son of an immigrant, owns an Albuquerque, N.M., construction logistics

company and plans to submit a proposal. He said he viewed the project as more geared

toward border security than immigration, and a surefire way to boost employment in job-strapped

New Mexico.

�I am not against immigrants by any stretch of the imagination,� said Mr. Burgos, whose

father came to the U.S. from Ecuador. �There isn�t a country in the world that doesn�t

have borders and doesn�t want to enforce them.�

Mr. Burgos noted that his company, Burgos Group LLC, which holds various defense contracts

with federal agencies, has handled projects in southern New Mexico near the border and

was familiar with operating in remote, rugged locations.

Meanwhile the owner of Helix Steel said he's not worried about the potential political

fallout, saying "if fighting for American jobs is wrong, I�ll take that risk."

Other interested businesses have niche specialties, like Leesburg, Va.-based Helix Steel. Chief

Executive Chris Doran said Helix�s products, which make concrete more resistant to blasts

and other stresses, would suit what he called a �massive opportunity.�

Mr. Doran, whose company has about 50 employees, said he wasn�t concerned with fallout from

participating in the project. �All I can say is I�m fighting for American jobs, and

if fighting for American jobs is wrong, I�ll take that risk,� he said.

Of course, as we noted last week, just as Trump sent out RFP's for his impenetrable,

yet "aesthetically pleasing", 30-foot border wall, Mexico's government warned Mexican companies

that it would not be in their best "interests" to participate in the project even though

there will be no explicit legal restrictions or sanctions to stop them if they tried. Per

Reuters:

"We're not going to have laws to restrict (companies), but I believe considering your

reputation it would undoubtedly be in your interest to not participate in the construction

of the wall," said Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo.

"There won't be a law with sanctions, but Mexicans and Mexican consumers will know how

to value those companies that are loyal to our national identity and those that are not,"

Guajardo added.

His comments echo those of Mexico's foreign minister Luis Videgaray, who said on Friday

that Mexican companies that see a business opportunity in the wall should "check their

conscience" first. Seems like the list of 'racist' companies

in this country is growing very quickly.
