Re: What will the police do with the images they collect?

Epic use of tech

All you whining about big brother and liberty are pretty slow and confused. The police being able to protect us and stop known sex offenders, bag thieves and general scumbags from entering the festival with pockets full of knives and drugs is a good thing. Why worry unless you are a criminal? Your image is captured many times a day in our towns and cities and now the police have a way of using that data to solve and prevent crime..great news.

If you actually look at the technology, you'll notice it cant be used with millions of faces becuase we all have similarities that mean it wont work. But loading it with criminal faces and scanning people at events is a great idea. It wont stop them all but I can rest easier in my tent knowing most of the criminals (visit to steal brigade) are in clink and not stealing my BBQ.
