Yes, yes it would.

Cool isn't it...  shades of Judge Dredd...

I note they have just fitted a new very very large gun on one of their naval vessels which also uses new technology.

Mind you we did have Metalstorm first...  where the hell did that disappear to.

Facially recognising Chinese people? How do they do that?

Would you give a Chinese person recognition for a facial?

It's probably in Korean ICBMS!

I'm guessing that went over your head. Missed a facial by this much ||.

Missed and went straight to the armpit.

I assume most countries use this at some level.
Given China's population it would be pretty easy for a criminal to hide out in the open.

I assume with hi-res cameras and facial profiling they could tell identical twins apart. In China they would need a massive database.

maybe it didn't warrant recognition?
Much like the obvious, see they cant even tell themselves apart without help...
BTW Gweggy is an idiot. :D :D :D :D :D

Recently, a Super Bowl was played (and won by Philadelphia -- correct me if I am wrong). One of the features of the Super Bowl is the surveillance they use in the stadiums. Not only are they looking for fans for highlight reels, they are also on the look out for known offenders. Employed at the entrance gates, and even in the stadium seating itself is the use of facial recognition to find certain individuals.

I don't know if they use this in Australian stadiums, but it would be a good idea to employ.

Yeah, we all need a big brother, what would we do without him. :-/

Well, I certainly would like to see people with outstanding warrants getting picked up.

How far would you go to achieve this?
Or let me put it this way, how much freedom are you willing to give up to catch fine defaulters.

I would be quite happy to see criminals in sporting venues, and taverns, and cinemas, and shopping centres getting picked up for their violent activities. As for fine defaulters, they won't need to be a high priority.

How far are are you willing to go? Who are these "criminals"? What lengths are you willing to go in giving up your rights to have them captured?

Setanta, 20 years ago I was both under surveillance for police protection AND for being one of many suspects in a murder investigation. Police went through my records, my studies, my internet history, my workplace role, my friends' details, and kept an eye on any place I went in public. When the threat left and Leonard John Fraser got done for the serial killings, the police protection/surveillance was ended. I did not feel violated.

I am sure that only criminals would be worried about more effective surveillance.
