I thought they didn't care about the identity and just kidnapped whoever they felt like. Do they really need this?
time for every immigrant to change style, grow a beard/shave it, change hair cut. start using makeup.
question, would that work?
That just makes me wanna wear my nondescript ball cap & aviators with a medical mask.
What a shame it'd be if the app/database got hacked and everything got deleted so ICE couldn't identify anyone /s
Hello Americans... welcome to the forth Reich!
Bear in mind what AOC told us about the "Big Beautiful Bill". ICE now has a bigger budget than the FBI, DEA and Bureau of Prisons combined. After they zip-tie you and throw you in the van they can light their Cuban cigars with $100 bills.
We don't need to rely on what she said. It's in the bill.
What would happen if these people started those bleaching tablets, like MJ used...
Wear Juggalo make up. Doubt they are using depth perception. Since that data would probably not be available.
Boy, it sure would be annoying if someone started to flood their tip line with fake reports. I'd hate to think of the wasted time they'd have to dedicate investigating each of these claims.
It would be best if done on a burner with a different IMEI & IMSI while also not at a place related to where you frequent. The FBI who now has fewer resources than ICE and they were using facial recognition and cell phone data to identify large groups of the opposition not too long ago. It wouldn't be a stretch to think ICE is going to do the same.
They are paying wow
I guarantee anyone getting paid by ICE for information is already a boot-chugger who doesn't need the money to begin with. It's all a part of the gift.
And it'll be ashame to do it in small conservative towns.
Wearing masks is legal.
They’re trying to criminalize it in my state
Cunts.
... for now.
I predict it being ubiquitous one day, where everyone has the ability to id others. It's already a thing in los Angeles. Also, I was just reading about how a person's gait can be used to identify someone, so wearing a mask won't be enough. Technology is just gonna get better.
People use reverse image search today to stalk women. It's horrible
Try reading my gait when I'm on an escooter/bike/whatever and recognising my face from behind a full face helmet. (I'm just being safe.)
Looks like Palantir's shit is already in action...
Decline to use facial rec at airports due to this shit
They already have your face when you got your license @ your local DMV.
Don't be defeatist. Every new capture benefits them, and every refusal takes that away from them.
"Well, you know where the exit is."
Decline? You think you have a choice?
You actually explicitly do have a choice
Just imagining this and laughing. "Actually gestapo, it's my right to not be disappeared against my will!"
I've done it. Recently. Walked up with my palm covering the camera so it didn't see me while I approached, stepped to the side of it once I could, said I opt out, and went through.
You idiot. I said in my post "decline at the airport" - meaning decline when the TSA asks to do it at airport security Not when ICE tries to take picture on a street
You think TSA (a part of DHS) and ICE (also a part of DHS) are somehow disconnected and not working hand in hand towards the same exact goal?
"Yes, you can opt out of TSA facial recognition"

You can opt out at the airport. That's a fact. Not sure how that relates to whatever you're saying but doesn't matter because whatever you are saying is not relevant to the conversation.
They have the passport photos already regardless... So don't travel to the USA...
Got it. So everyone wears cardboard cut out masks.
With Trump's face pasted on them.
"Felon detected!"
Considering that the US still does not have any kind of working national census, and only relies of the deeply flawed social security system for a national ID database, I wonder how accurate this system is
They probably just use Facebook + LinkedIn or other public databases. I remember a project on hackaday of someone who did something similar and found with some basic programming, it's definitely possible to get some matches. But that was years ago.
They are using the CBP database according to that article.. who knows what version two will have though
Considering they're just looking for a pretext to arrest someone, I think it's accurate enough for them.
It's not, but it might be enough to reduce the ridiculously high number of erroneous ~~kidnappings~~ detentions. Not that they give enough of a fuck to be embarrassed by their ineptitude, but even they recognize that screwing up so much only serves to give their critics (additional) legitimacy.
False positives are more common than false negatives.
