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:
Not here
Typical perverted Liberal mentality.
Actually walmart has security they are not easy to find because most will look just like a normal store shopper.
Yeah I don’t remember reading in the Constitution that you can’t video tape someone on private property. If you don’t like it, don’t shop at Walmart. But I am willing to bet any store you go to has cameras
No big deal here. Walmart has dozens of cameras in each store. Just a little more high tech so homie the shoplifter can be spotted before he enters the store and be tracked while in there by surveillance techs. Facial recognition is used everywhere nowadays.
What took so long?
This is not the beginning. This has been going on for better than 15 years.
Solution to the cameras if you don’t like them don’t go in Walmart. Some people would complain at the Lords last supper because they had red wine instead of white.
They’ve been installing facial recognition cameras for several years.
I saw someone shoplifting and told the manager, they followed the woman all over the store and watched her putting stuff in her pockets and bra, they let her walk right out of the store without ever saying a word to her! I asked why follow her if you’re not going to stop her, I was told they had orders not to stop anyone but the next time she came into the store they would call police and they would be waiting at the door, I also was told that any store she goes in within 200 miles of that Wal-Mart would also call police if she came into any Wal-Mart so how do they know if she goes into another store? This has to be a true story about the new cameras!
