More importantly than being outraged over the biometrics invasion (which you should 100% be outraged over). You should be more outraged at the hypocrisy.
Las Vegas runs a fusion center which has some of the most invasive monitoring, capturing, metrics/data collection of most agencies.
They do the following:
- license plate recognition on every intersection.
- microphones through the city which listen to conversations
- drones which fly into and above people’s back yards.
- Weaponized drones, ie fly drones into windows to break them, or people to stop them
- thermal imagine of people’s houses and backyards.
- facial ID against social media from cameras, as well as NCIC and more.
- they have fake social media profiles they use to follow pages, groups, individuals suspected of bad behavior
- they purchase PI from brokers en masse and run against it.
- they probably have more cameras than almost any city in the US.
- they have taps into all casinos cameras and microphones.
… these are the same officers who are upset over the new facial ID policy.
Here’s a brief news clip. But I also know these details because I’ve seen them first hand.
