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:
Has something changed since the last for five times that you’ve run the same story ???
I guess if you have criminal intent you should be very concerned. Maybe Walmart’s are sick and tired of being robbed and vandalized? No, there must be something conspiratorial regarding the cameras, really people? Now, when the government and code officials start doing this in order to ticket you (or otherwise derive income) perhaps then I can see a legitimate complaint.
So your answer is to destroy private property. Seen a great deal of that sort of stuff on the news lately.
SUE THEM!
Just won’t shop @ any Walmart! Done
Just close your eyes & walk on by
Lmao…evidently you are unaware that the NCDMV and other employ this and use it in a national database, with traffic cameras. Keep thinking conspiracy…right where they want you.
3,2,1….cue tinfoil hat comment. O.o
They’ve been doing it in the Las Vegas casinos for years!
Brilliant….vandalize a camera that is recording your action and identifying you for the purpose of prosecution! Twit!
For protecting their private property and financial interests??? Good idea, twit!
