I was thinking this too! Gait recognition can completely bypass facial coverings as a means of identification, but I also don't think it'll be much help here.

Gait recognition can be bypassed by things as simple as putting a rock in your shoe so you walk differently, so when you think about how much extra heavy gear, different shoes, and different overall movement patterns ICE agents will possibly be engaging in, it might not hold up well at tracking them down, especially since to recognize someone by gait, you'd need footage of them that you can already identify them in, to then train the model on.

In the case of fucklapd.com, this was easy because they could just get public record data for headshot photos, but there isn't a comparable database with names directly tied to it for gait. I will say though, a lot of these undercover agents might be easier to track by gait since they'll still generally be wearing more normal attire, and it might be more possible to associate them with who they are outside of work since it's easier to slip up when you're just wearing normal clothes.

Such a shame. Anyway, I guess we'll have to live with the consequences of technology.

What’s highly illegal in Europe? Taking a photo or using publicly available images to match that photo to?

As far as I know those things are not illegal, although as a Brit I wouldn’t be surprised if they label this terrorism lol

Sounds like fascism to me.

That’s a fair concern to a degree of course even the most fair sentences might have a disgruntled person on the other end of it but a fair justice system that serves and protects its community equally has little to fear overall. When a justice system is unfair, unequal, does not serve or protects its community that risk goes way up however they only have themselves to blame for the increased risk. An occasional crazy is just the price of being a human but if the public in general is against you, you’ve done that to yourself through your own actions

No! For made up reasons I don’t understand adverbs are verboten!

What’s highly illegal in Europe? Taking a photo or using publicly available images to match that photo to?

1. Taking a photo for that purpose is likely out.

2. Matching it to any publically available images is definitely out.

3. Creating a database of face images for searching: Nope.

4. Using this system is very problematic.

Some of this is because of the GDPR. So it's likely to be illegal in the UK, as well. And some is because of the AI Act (in particular 4. but also 3. to some degree). That's not something that needs to concern Brits.

I'm a librarian. I also work with members of the public, some of whom do not share my understanding of reality. My information is still public because I'm a government employee.

Erin: "All of the sudden, I was awake."

That really sucks. But a lot of innocent people have the police break into their homes and murder them so it balances out.

If "all of the sudden" becomes standard I will definitely do this.

I’d have to research 4, but I know for a fact taking a photo of someone in public is protected as you have no right to privacy in public, it’s also not the subjects business what I intend to do with it, so things like posting online might be subject to GDPR but if i wanted to build an app like the one in this post then I would do what they did and have it all on device so it technically isn’t uploaded anywhere.

I would need a law showing that matching a face against publicly available datasets of faces is illegal as that seems insane and difficult to police.

Yes, 3 I agree with as it would fall under GDPR as identifiable information.

nice.

Is there one for ice too?

No. Those are gravy Seal wannabees. Ice isn't doing anything on the streets. They are doing the behind the scenes stuff. Deputized bounty hunters are the ones in the streets. No badge, no authority, and as you know instantly disavowed.

There is resistance everywhere, but LA was a special target for the GOP. They are gearing up to make Chicago just as hot here soon.

The job of the police is to protect capital.

So the people doing the snatching are gig workers? Is there a TaskRabbit for fascism?

A lot of masks only work in the visible light spectrum. It's entirely possible to "radar" images and remove them.

I wasn’t expecting crims to go after their own families, but I’m here for it….

Was the judge a dick head?

Lmao let's see how long it takes them to shut this down
