When you enter your local Walmart, keep an eye out for the visible part of the latest technology the retail chain has been installing near their doors and throughout the store.
Paging: George Orwell. Mr. Orwell, you there?
High-tech facial recognition cameras are installed eye level near the entry-ways of their new store fronts, but it’s the software behind these anonymous plastic half-globes that is raising concerns (see the video on the following page). Understand, that it isn’t about having anything to hide, these cameras set new a precedent for both personal and business use. These cameras are able to cross-reference your image with online social media networks to match a name with the face, they can learn a great deal more and may be able to track lot of data points. How much the system can record and track is unknown, but in the video on the next page you can see that it not only tracks faces, but can categorize objects and motion:
Ours pays more.
Would they use$#%&!@*recognition software?
If you are innocent, what’s the problem?
All this security and if a worker sees someone shop lifting, the employee can’t stop the person from leaving the store due to store policy. If they try to intervene, they lose their job. The theft prevention department turns over any relevant store video to the police and hope the PD nabs the thief.
If it works so well why weren’t they able to help my niece when a women stole her wallet at the checkout line at Walmart?!? She couldn’t even find security to help her!
I guess muslims can’t be tracked then…lol
T-ball comes to mind. Everyone gets to hit….lol
Illegals? Government wants illegals. Terrorists? Profiling…we can’t win. I wonder what the country will look like in 10 years.
And what if that Muslim woman is really a man under there? Or even not a real Muslim but someone else hiding from the law??
