NEXT TIME YOU GLANCE AT A BILL BOARD IT MIGHT BE LOOKING BACK
As you scan the face on that giant billboard, it may just be scanning your face!
Sophisticated long range digital facial-recognition technology is coming to a billboard on your street! Are Americans on the threshold of losing the freedom of driving and walking the streets anonymously? Or are we going to be tracked every time we step out of our home or get in our car?
Law enforcement and the corporate business world are eagerly awaiting the day (soon) when signs and billboards with facial recognition technology can instantly scan your face and track your every move. With instant data mining software locked in, Johnny Law and your favorite retailer will know where you are and where you're going! Better hope you paid those parking tickets and got that alimony check in the mail. At any rate you'll be sure of getting a zillion e-mails,phone calls and ads for anything and everything in the vicinity of the billboards that scan your face. With facial-recognition technology becoming increasingly advanced, available and affordable and before restrictions on its use can be put into place. Concerns have been raised on Capitol Hill in recent weeks that police searches using ubiquitous face scans  on every sign and billboard could trample Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure, while law enforcement and advertisers say excessive regulations could cripple cutting-edge technology. “In our country, government shouldn’t be looking over your shoulder unless it has a reason,” said Jay Stanley, senior policy analyst with the American Civil Liberties Union’s speech, privacy and technology project. “They should not be collecting data on innocent subjects.” One proposal is for a comprehensive privacy law, similar to those in many European countries. This would provide for a “privacy commissioner” to deal with concerns raised by technological developments as well as basic rules such as a requirement to ask permission before using any pictures or videos. Another major problem with face scans is the margin of error. Police will be pursuing  the wrong suspects much of the time. Of coarse, they can always hire more cops to bridge this gap in technology. In a 2011 report, the ACLU urged Congress to employ a mix of legislation, industry self-regulation and privacy-enhancing technologies to create an overarching privacy policy. That policy would require companies to obtain informed consent before using this invasive technology to identify people. As far as law enforcement is concerned they will do as they damned well please,Fourth Amendment or not.
