A company called Dataworks Plus has developed a portable facial and fingerprint biometric scanner for law enforcement.
The ‘Evolution’ is a portable facial and fingerprint smartphone that police can use to identify everyone.
“It is multi-modal and can capture fingerprint and facial images and is compatible with our RAPID-ID fingeprint recognition and FACE Plus facial recognition applications.”
Dataworks claims police can identify anyone “regardless of factors such as hair color, glasses, and image background”.
So the next time, you see a cop pointing their smartphone at someone don’t be fooled, they are probably using ‘Evolution’ to identify them without a warrant.
Law enforcement ‘will use Dataworks, ‘Facial Recognition Case Management Module’ to identify everyone.
The Case Management module enables police officers to easily save and manage facial recognition searches.
build case management sessions with multiple probe images,
search for facial recognition results using multiple facial recognition engines,
add images from photos or video (integrated video viewer),
enhance your probe images using features such as pose correction and 3D modeling,
narrow your searches using data filters,
view probe and result images side-by-side,
include annotations and measurements of similarities between images for court and more accurate identifications, and
create reports based on your facial recognition searches.
Police will also use ‘Evolution’ to create their on secret ‘watchlist database’ of citizens.
