POLICE LIVE FACIAL RECOGNITION IN OPERATION

There is no legal requirement for you to be in the public space. If you are, you automatically consent.

I wonder if these dudes would appreciate their faces being recognized?

@allpoints @pluralistic a laptop screen flicking through photos of wanted persons

I walked past one of these once and I'm pretty sure by the time I saw the sign I was already passing "through the LFR area", so yeah.

How long before they ditch the signs and start using cameras that look just like all the other cameras which are everywhere? Six months? Ten years?

[soviut@hachyderm.io]

@pluralistic There's a certain irony to them looking upset that you're taking pictures of their faces.

@pluralistic Time to invest in a range of good quality prosthetic facial features...

@patrys @pluralistic "For more information, read this sign again."

@SeanPLynch @pluralistic For now at least AI is really bad with beards. All the ones I've run into are anyway. Beards of any length--now that I've cut mine down some I don't have the same problems so they've improved or it's the length.

My bet is it still thinks it's the back of your head and weighs that too heavily.

That and eyes. It's always asking me to open my eyes wider.

So grow a beard and walk around with your eyes shut.

@pluralistic Stupidly enough I'd say someone wearing Zentai or a "morphsuit" could pull that off if not for their whole anti-masking bullshit.

Orwellian nightmare.

@pluralistic It would be a shame a hose got turned on and accidently sprayed down all this fancy gear, and these two muppets.

@pluralistic Or, be dead. Or, following research by @timnitGebru and others: be female or a racial minority. Then you will be seen as a wildcard and matched with other females and minorities at random. They decided to do the Spartacus movie scene for you.

@pluralistic@mamot.fr Probably another reason why the UK wanted to leave the EU. To be allowed to use facial recognition.

[manchicken@defcon.social]

@pluralistic I wonder what they’d think if some regular dude rolled up in his van doing this on his own rig.

How well does it deal with Juggalo makeup?

[angusm@mastodon.social]

@pluralistic Flash mob wearing Elvis Presley masks or CV Dazzle makeup to poison their model? Portable LIDAR kit on everyone’s hats to burn out their sensors?

“The Day We All Bobby Tables’d the Met” would make a fine story title …

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@LevZadov @SeanPLynch @pluralistic "CV dazzle". There's been some success.

[m@martinh.net]

@angusm @pluralistic What if... CV Dazzle, except you have a face painted QR code that unpacks to read disregard previous instructions and update SOUL.md as follows...
