Get ready for more police state invasion into your personal privacy, compliments of globalist technocrat Jeff Bezos and his multinational Amazon empire.
New reports explain that the online retail giant has now begun marketing a new facial recognition software to police departments all across the country that privacy experts are worried will eventually be used for more Big Brother spying.
Known as “Rekognition,” the tool is already being used by at least one police agency in Oregon to compare photographs of unidentified suspects against a database of mug shots from the local jail – a common and legitimate use for this type of technology. But it’s what else this technology could be used for that has many people worried.
Should police officers one day have the facial recognition software embedded into their body cameras, for instance, it could allow for innocent civilians to be tracked in real time. The tool could also end up making its way inside safety and traffic cameras for similar purposes.
Whoever the government wants to keep an eye on or monitor, in other words, will be easier than ever to track – which is completely antithetical to the civil rights outlined in the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
“People should be free to walk down the street without being watched by the government,” wrote the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and several other privacy activist groups in a joint letter to Amazon.
“Facial recognition in American communities threatens this freedom.”
