Flaget, before I saw your post I intended to correct myself regarding the one to many v. one to one search on ATM's, etc. The FaceIt system will be smart card based, just like a finger scan system. The differences in implementing are the need for cameras at enrollment v. a fingerscanner and the need for a camera at the transaction point v. just a smart card scanner.
You are not right, though, on police security. We are talking about surveillance, i.e., leads and preventive police work, for the most part. Anti-terrorism stuff, for instance, or finding a bad guy. I wouldn't expect too many caught in the act situations. But if there is one, it's still good evidence, just like videotaped stings. |
