While the government spends billions on cameras, and face recognition technology directed at us to spy on us all, people are being arrested for pointing cameras at police.
I hope I'm not the only one that sees the problem here. Its all about using our money and resources to keep us in line when its the government that stages criminal activities like fast and furious that needs the cameras pointed at them.

Government promised us jobs by using taxpayer funds to spend on projects -- the administration called it "Stimulus Spending." The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) spent some of its money on "Next Generation Identification Program" developed by Lockheed Martin Transportation and Security Solutions and IBM.
NGI will connect with tens of thousands of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to apply facial recognition to the American public. NGI has the ambitious goal "to reduce terrorist and criminal activities by improving and expanding biometric identification and criminal history information services through research, evaluation, and implementation of advanced technology."

How would you feel if the government could easily track your movements by automatically identifying your face on images captured by the ever-growing network of CCTV of cameras in America? The FBI will be able to do just that soon, with its one-billion-dollar Next Generation Identification program.

PS... What should worry us, is the point and events, in between inception and perfection....
The Earth does not belong to us, it belongs to our children.
Thanks for you kind response ;-)

But you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube as the saying goes. Technology has run rampant and it will happen sooner or later whether or not the taxpayers pay for it or private industry develops it. My opposition is in the fact that the government is subsidizing it. The government should stop spending our money on anything except defense until we have a balanced budget. Let the free market develop facial recognition if and when the public demands it.
If the government wants it we will foot the bill regardless of what Americans think, because we keep putting these same people in congress back in office legislating the use of our money to do so.
If it’s used for security at airports, and in “needed” city areas for personal security.
But, Obama and the far left ass-holes are trying to CONCURE America, not govern it.
Next, the gun boondoggle laws for confiscation.
Bend over America, here is “Big Government Brother” running it up your ass.
While the benefit in my opinion is very slim compared to the cost, I don't really see it as invading privacy because it's in public areas, I would however be very worried if they put cameras on my property
And we will foot the bill for that as well.
But as for the privacy stuff.. Its public so who cares
I hear they have Rights + Freedoms in America, so I'm going to move there.
However, the good would be the TSA would stop grabbing peoples ass and private parts if we are recognized by NGI and pass the body mass detectors.
It seems people on the run could alter their face to defeat the hidden cameras.
Sounds like an Obama-FBI-HLS boondoggle of federal spending.
Bend over American, here it comes $$ again!
Funny how that works, 'eh.
