#3I know that this might be an unpopular opinion, but if privacy really is dead, why don't we just make this data public? I know there's significant risks, but I feel like it's a better step forward than having this technology developed and deployed in secret.

The ultimate "f&#$ it" move. It's true ... your thoughts, words and actions are all going to be documented and preserved to be later audited and evaluated into perpetuity. The train is too far down the tracks to do anything about it.

#5Honestly, I have no problem with a database of public images showing/tracking people's public actions. It used to be in a small town you knew who was good and bad by their actions. With the population explosion, the only way we have a practical means to return to that is with facial recognition databases.

why do you think privacy is dead?
Where I travel, (digital and otherwise) privacy is quite alive and well. (This is definitely outside of highly populated first-world cities.)

#7> “We have these photos. It makes sense,” Chief Shea said in the interview.
ah, yeah, outstanding argument - looking forward to seeing it applied to all other electronic data ever produced, no matter how old they are

I'm not convinced privacy is dead.
But I do agree with you.
We can't stop eyes (biological and electronic) from seeing faces. We can't stop memory banks (biological and electronic) from storing the likenesses of faces.
Better than trying to craft legislation that we know the state will secretly violate is to make all of this data public and make the world's human facial lexicon part of our shared understanding.
This is the most ideal solution for an optimistic society.

This guy is DEFINITELY not a cop.

Pray your doppelgangers don't ever break the law.
