HALF of Americans Photos Are Now Stored In Facial Recognition DatabasesBy John Vibes The report indicated that over 117 million adults are stored in facial recognition databases, and any of their photos can be used at any time in a virtual lineup, where they can be picked out by law enforcement as potential suspects. According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), many police departments use photos from Facebook, photos from protests, and even videos of average people walking down the street taken from cameras posted up around urban centers. It was even indicated in the report that drivers license photos are used to populate these databases, meaning that almost anyone could be a potential suspect in one of these lineups. The reports findings, along with revelations from the ACLU on police monitoring in Baltimore, suggest that the technology may be violating the rights of millions of Americans and is disproportionately affecting communities of color, advocates said. Alvaro Bedoya, executive director of Georgetowns privacy and technology center says that this new technology presents a massive privacy risk. Face recognition, when its used most aggressively, can change the nature of public spaces. It can change the basic freedom we have to go about our lives without people identifying us from afar and in secret, he said. The investigation poured through a years worth of police reports to determine how widespread facial recognition software has become. Neema Singh Guliani, ACLUs legislative counsel, pointed out that government agencies have free rein to do whatever they want with this technology, and that they offer absolutely no transparency. In the case of face recognition, there appear to be very few controls or safeguards to ensure its not used in situations in which people are engaged in first amendment activity, Guliani said. One of the most disturbing aspects of the recent report is the fact that these facial recognition databases have become overwhelmingly made up of non-criminal entries. This can get extremely dangerous because this technology is far from perfect and, in fact, mistakes are made all of the time. Even the FBI admits that one out of every seven searches of its facial recognition database are incorrect, meaning that innocent people are singled out on a regular basis. However, independent investigation revealed that the number was far higher, with close to 90% of those identified by facial recognition technology being innocent people. Considering the fact that this is fairly new technology, it is obvious that there will be plenty of bugs and imperfections. When dealing with a personal computer or video game system this is acceptable, but when dealing with peoples lives the risk is far too great.

Half have a photo of themselves on a facial recognition site, not half hosting their photos on such a site, as the title suggests. While I dont doubt they wish they had all those faces, I take reports like this straight to the bin (no offense to the writer who is reporting it, it is nicely written), because Ive learned to consider the source before I believe anything. Georgetown University is a Jesuit University, and Jesuits are the dissemblers and psy-op masters for the NWO. One only need read the Jesuit Oath of Induction to see how these infiltrators and liars operate, and keep in mind the temporal head of the move for ecumenism and the NWO the Pope, took this oath. Of course those who attend these institutions probably havent taken it, but they have the same goals and the same academic agendas as are promoted in their stage. I hope you all take the time to scroogle this oath, and do, please, have a barf bucket handy, because if you have blood pumping through your heart, it will make you sick. After you read it, look up all the Jesuit founded and funded Universities in the US alone, and ponder which political and social leaders and corporate big-wigs graduated with a degree (think freemasonry when you see the word, degree). Also, the ACLU is a sham, because they know good and well we have no liberties as literal and legal slaves of the system via Capitis Diminutio Maxima, and as civilians they practically tell us were living in a military venue. So in this case, I doubt its true about the faces; its just one more thing with which to scare, terrorize and traumatize us, a little teensy bit at a time, until were all sick, tired, and numb and more importantly, compliant.
