The highlight for me is this:
The Las Vegas Police Protective Association, with the backing of the department, said they are concerned such technology compromises the officers’ privacy.
It's worth noting they're only doing this for workers, not for attendees. The police would presumably by fine with it if it were just attendees and not workers, because it wouldn't include them.
Ok, good. I thought I was the only one who saw this connection. It's not that the police are against facial recog or that they don't want the NFL or anyone else to use it, it's that they're aware of the privacy degradation it causes, and don't want themselves (the police workers of the event) subjected to it. It's fine if we, the attendees, are subjected to it, just not them. Oh, what a world.
Yup, cause, once again, fuck the people.
They forget that they are also the people, and all they're doing is helping the corpos gain more power (make no mistake, the governments are a front for the corpos).
Yeah but they're "special people," not subject to the same rules as the peons, even though they'd be tossed aside for private security should shit go down. God dammit lol
"special people" until they're not haha
Front/right arm/all of one.
I mean we had the Dutch East Indies Corp doing it's thing 300 years ago. It's not really new, and it's frustrating people don't see it.
The old adage 'why do you care if you've got nothing to hide?' comes to mind
