    “It starts with searching for a ‘brown dog’ but means the tech is there for license plate reading

    Next comes ‘brown person’.

      This is pretty much what I said to my wife while scritching my dogs. First it’ll just be expanded to missing kids and olds, because of course everyone wants to reunite families, but eventually it’ll be something that “law enforcement” can request for whatever the hell they want, because after all they’re the good guys keeping us safe!

          Have been for a while. I think this is them getting ahead of more people realizing it. Puts it into the frame they want as opposed to ‘every step you take is being constantly tracked.’

        I mean, I work with security cameras, and I’ve seen the tracking they can employ now. You can specify a color of shirt and color of pants to filter results with pretty solid accuracy and follow a specific person, or vehicle, across multiple cameras. I doubt it would take much to add filter by skin color.
