So, the FBI is using a facial recognition database – that you are registered into when you get your driver’s license photo taken in a lot of states – to profile criminals.
I do not like the Jew Chaffetz. But his performance at the hearing yesterday was pretty great.
He’s going for Gowdy levels.
Gowdy has turned grilling people at Congressional hearings into a performance art, and it’s very popular. I’m surprised more people haven’t taken up this behavior.
Democrats and Republicans alike hammered the FBI on Wednesday for its use of facial recognition software to identify potential suspects, saying the technology fosters racial bias, leads to arrests of innocent people and trashes Americans’ privacy.
More than 400 million pictures of Americans’ faces are archived in local, state and federal law enforcement facial recognition networks, the federal Government Accountability Office reported last year. Those pictures include the faces of about half of all U.S. adults, experts estimate.
“I have zero confidence in the FBI and the [Justice Department], frankly, to keep this in check,” Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Massachusetts, said at a hearing of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Regulation.
“This is really Nazi Germany here, what we’re talking about,” Lynch said. “And I see little difference in the way people are being tracked under this, just getting one wide net and getting information on all American citizens.”
The Nazis actually respected personal privacy. There is not even a good anecdote to use to argue that they didn’t, as a rule, unless you are talking about wartime security measures that every country was using at the time.
But I digress.
At the very least, he said, warrants for face searches should be required “if we’re going to build these databases.”
Rep. John Duncan, R-Tennessee, said: “I think we’re reaching a very sad point, a very dangerous point, when we’re doing away with the reasonable expectation of privacy about anything.”
The committee’s ranking Democrat, Elijah Cummings of Maryland, noted research indicating that facial recognition systems are less accurate in distinguishing identities among people with dark skin, women and younger people.
“If you’re black, you’re more likely to be subjected to this technology,” said Cummings, who is African-American. “And the technology is more likely to be wrong. That’s a hell of a combination, especially when you’re talking about subjecting someone to the criminal justice system.”
HAHAHA.
It is more likely to be wrong with blacks, because even computers think they all look alive.
That’s very funny.
The reason they’re more likely to be included is that one of the sources is mugshots, which isn’t a very good argument. Definitely not as good as the “nigga we all look da same” argument.
Fingerprints are registered on arrest, so it kind of makes sense that other biometric data would be as well. The issue is using ID photos to register people without even telling them.
Kimberly Del Greco, the FBI’s deputy assistant director of criminal justice information, stressed under questioning that “the only information the FBI has and has collected in our database are criminal mugshot photos.”
That number doesn’t include databases compiled by state and local law enforcement agencies — culled from police mugshots, driver’s licenses, passports, visas, security video and other sources.
Yeah, she just openly lied.
Watch the video.
The bitch is just lying about something that had already been established minutes earlier.
The FBI has reciprocal agreements with 18 states giving it access to such local databases, and the agency has made it clear that it wants access to all of the rest. And it has also sought an exemption from federal privacy laws that give Americans the right to check the accuracy of information the government has compiled about them.
“Like many technologies, used in the wrong hands or without appropriate parameters, it is ripe for abuse,” the committee’s chairman, Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah. .
“It would be one thing if facial recognition technology were perfect or near perfect, but it clearly is not,” Chaffetz said. “Facial recognition technology does make mistakes.”
Internal FBI documents obtained in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by the nonprofit Electronic Privacy Information Center indicate that the FBI’s own database, called the Next Generation Identification Interstate Photo System, or NGI-IPS, had an acceptable margin of error of 20 percent — that is, a 1-in-5 chance of “recognizing” the wrong person.
See, he’s still Jewing you.
The accuracy of it isn’t important. Isn’t the issue. All that means is you could potentially get questioned for something you didn’t do based on a wrong positive, but they aren’t going to convict you based on this alone when they openly admit it’s wrong 20% of the time. And people get questioned in relation to crimes they didn’t commit all the time, that isn’t illegal.
The issue is the system itself, which is very slippery-slopey. You get into Minority Report type stuff very quickly when you start with stuff like this. That is the point. Creating a totally locked down technological system where every single individual’s every move is tracked from birth to death by intelligent computers.
People just generally feel very uncomfortable with this idea. Usually, the reasoning is that they don’t want this type of power to fall into the wrong hands, but on another level – probably a more important level – it’s just fundamentally concerning, regardless of any potential consequences or lack thereof.
In Real Life
The fact is, everything that is possible technologically, the US government is doing. The Snowden revelations didn’t surprise me (nor did the Vault 7 revelations), because I had simply assumed that with the ability to record everything, they would do that. Just because it is possible.
We do need to reassess this stuff though. Along with being concerning fundamentally, there is also the fact that this data they are collecting cannot possibly be protected.
I think that President Trump should go a bit libertarian on this issue. The dystopian lockdown of everything is really unpopular with everyone, and there isn’t any reason for it. Except for Moslems of course. But that is a reason to get rid of them, or at the very least to bring back profiling.
