A grand jury made the exceedingly rare decision to decline federal charges against an Ohio man accused of tearing down a Flock ALPR.

    Come to think of it, how accurately can facial recognition tell apart to people who look very similar?

      Zero. Zero accurately. They don’t even talk about it, because they don’t care. The arbitrary cruelty is a bonus feature.

        I bet the manufacturers of these surveillance systems leave a wink wink way for authorities to slip a name in their systems as a hit for something too.

      Facial recognition has an inherent bias as well, or at least it did not too long ago. It was mostly trained on white people, so it’s accuracy with non whites was really bad. I’m sure the training data is far more robust now, but that doesn’t necessarily mean better.

      Not at all, but that’s the court’s problem I guess.
