This story snapped me out of my week long hangover!
Who said that everything is better in HD? Everyone, that's who!
Why should the FBI be relegated to trying to track your movements through a grainy, ever growing network of cameras? Really, they are people too! They can't be left in the friggin dark ages!
How do we solve that issue? Give them $1 Billion to implement their facial recognition project.
Whew! I was scared for a moment! I actually thought that our privacy was at stake, or that we wouldn't be able to walk through town without our pictures being logged in a never ending database. Never fear! Our gubment wouldn't let something that absurd ever happen. They would do whatever they could to protect our rights as citizens of the best nation in the world right?
This is exactly what has happened, the gubment has found a way! Through their new Facial recognition they will be able to keep us safe! Their goal "is to reduce terrorist and criminal activities by improving and
expanding biometric identification and criminal history information
services through research, evaluation, and implementation of advanced
technology." Sounds harmless enough. I think that they should just break down and start a buddy system where every US citizen is partnered with a federal agent taking out the possibility of them not knowing the consistency of your most recent bowel movement.
Have one of these cameras that you see in an intersection actually stopped anything from happening? I have seen a few alternate views on America's funniest home videos brought to you by one of these cameras, but that's about it.
So next time you are driving through an intersection and see a weird black box next to the stoplight, or wonder why the hell there would be the need for a camera on a telephone pole in the middle of a street; just smile, wave and say hello to the $1 billion that is making the world safe!
The sad part is that once this makes the news they have probably been doing it for about 6 years!
