This kind of biometric security is getting a bit ridiculous. It would be different if it was done in a secure way and by that I mean secure in the sense that the person who provides the biometric data you had the ability to secure it wherever it went. This could absolutely be done but the reason it's not is companies totally want to gather this data from people and then sell it to other companies for machine learning…
There is no repudiation, attestation or key rotation in this setup, with all the attendant problems that creates.
Interesting concern given all of our pictures were already sold by META to every data broker on the planet..
"conversations with officers “making them very well aware of what they’re agreeing to.” But the decision may come down to what individual officers are comfortable with, Grammas said. Overtime security work is not mandatory for officers, but voluntary."
Maybe it's a cultural thing but blurring the line between an officer in their public capacity and what is basically private security at a sports event should be two separate things. Hiring the police out as a private security force where they then get to negotiate what rules they have to play by has a Judge Dredd vibe to it
The title confused me because here in Germany the police are civil servants and they generally don't have a right to strike or just choose not to do their job as they're an executive organ of the state but apparently here the police is just.. side hustling? "conversations with officers “making them very well aware of what they’re agreeing to.” But the decision may come down to what individual officers are comfortable…
It’s weird, and often sort of extortion

Meta and Google want to retain their data moat to maximize their ad premiums over competitors. They really do not want to sell any data.

The work is voluntary overtime work.
They're not forced to accept voluntary overtime work. It's an optional thing they can choose to do above and beyond their base job, if the pay and terms are interesting enough.
I don't see why it's a problem. What are the alternatives? Forcing police to do security for private events inside of private venues as part of their job?
