    Wrong. The glasses will misidentify in real time.

    The goal is to “accidentally” arrest and deport US citizens.

    Why bother they just target random people anyway. I have never seen any indication that their behaviour is in any way directed.

      The point is to absolve the human behind the arrest from responsibility. “The system” gets to do the decision making, then the human can’t be responsible for making a mistake and arresting the wrong person.

    The glasses don’t have to work, they just need “plausible” excuses for picking up anyone who catches their fancy. $1,500 a head, be it man, child, or woman.

      Isn’t there some kind of weird reflective material that messes with it? Or is that just the stuff celebrities use so it crazily over excuses paparazzi pictures?

    Always has been.

    Cameras are THE tools for surveilance, and adding more everywhere has always had only one goal.

      I was thinking more Jokerz, but honestly ICP is cool by me. Not really my thing, but they’ve always been anti-fash and after Violent J’s daughter got into the furry fandom and formed an alliance, they’re solid in my book.

    Notably the risks aren’t simply that this will identify the undocumented its that it will provide a pretext to disappear almost anyone who isn’t white.

    The question is does any given non-white person look enough like one of over 10M people to get falsely flagged given agents a pretext to remove almost anyone they stop. Facial recognition of one person against a large enough database will almost always provide at least on possible match this is especially true if it matches against possible aliens and not against possibly aliens and citizens. EG a query of both will likely turn up Betty Sue Smith is herself and maybe a possible match with Known Deportable but a search against only aliens may return only Known Deportable with agents dismissing any claim by Betty that her ID must be fake.

        No but you can say “The AI told me to detain them” and not take any responsibility. “I was just answering orders” is sadly too common of an excuse in dooing the worst things…

          And if anyone believes that absolves them of responsibility, they deserve all the police stating they get.

      You can’t be called a racist if a machine decides it for you, same as if a drone does the killing, it mean you can’t get convicted for murder even if you hit button to fire

        If I point the gun, the gun evaluates the target, the gun automatically fires - then I’m not even doing anything!

        Hmmm… no. The defense “the machine decided” and “but the drone does the killing” will not fly in any sane system (which exclude the US).
        Someone decided to use the machine|drone, this someone is responsible.

      Not confirm, but justify. “Hey, it’s not me - it’s this little machine that says you’re subhuman. I’m just doing my job here, man.”

      I’m sure that’s what it will be: proprietary and questionable algorithms to identify anyone that might not be a 3+ generation American of European origin.

          They’re gonna fall back on the algo being racist and not the storm troopers with the nazi tattoos, those guys are just doing what the AI tells them.
