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:
Hi… Just a pilot program. Just like illegal stop light cameras.. Its more than it seems.. Trust that
Nothing we can do about it. All we can do is be honest, do the right thing and you will be ok. We are being tracked everywhere…Big Brother…
Google already has a map of where you drive to, where you stop and your full rout all the way back home. Look it up ! surprise ?
My last trip to Walmart was while I was traveling. Among other things, I bought a sandwich. I had food poisoning for two days. I don’t need good, cheap, toilet paper bad enough to shop at Walmart any more
Bill Rowanoak. Oh yes they can ask a woman to raise her veil, a lot of stores cash payroll checks, if a Muslim woman in a veil asked me to cash her check, I would need ID card (hmmmm…. are states going to allow veils in ID pics), and I would HAVE TO see her face to confirm she is who she claims to be. If she doesn’t want to comply,$#%&!@*her! She can attempt to cash it elsewhere…. good luck with that
That camera looks like a job for flex seal. The mans says it can fix a boat or a leaky gutter. I’m sure it can cover that camera to.
Britain has cameras everywhere. It has the most extensive camera system in the world. But, it still doesn’t stop rape, speeding cars, fights, bombs, or kidnappings or killings. Camera’s do one thing very well consistently. They generate a lot of revenue for the city or local government and apparently Walmart to now. I don’t need my phone blowing up with Walmart specials every time I shop there.
Sad just sad not even your face is safe
Now that’s to far stealing our faces we’re the hell has privacy is no one pissed the$#%&!@*off
Eye level….like we are all the same height?
