ICE is using facial recognition tech on US citizens without their consent, according to DHS documents obtained by 404 Media. Despite such software's unreliability, agents may ignore a citizen's birth certificate if the app says they're in the US illegally.

      In their world, resisting surveillance will be probable cause for arrest, because you must have something to hide and need to be investigated.

          Like that makes a difference when they pick you up in a unmarked Ford transit and drop you off at the concentration camp ice detention facility

      I don’t think anything like that would help. Especially over the last several years with the huge rise of things like Snapchat filters where people can take photos of themselves in various situations with various costumes, various themes. I’m sure all of that was data mined for someone’s purpose.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_vision_dazzle it’s been done before. AI facial recognition gets a little overhyped

        Sometimes it’s explicitly called out for that reason ya. Can’t say all the time though.
