   This Miami case is "just another example of how the use of facial recognition technology can expand beyond solving murders or extreme crimes and be used to mass surveil the population," EFF’s Lisa Femia told Reason. https://reason.com/2024/01/19/miami-police-used-clearview-ai-facial-recognition-in-arrest-of-homeless-man/

     @eff …Excepting that - if it’s used by police - it will *not* be used to solve crimes; that has been proven time and time again; the raison d’etre - in practice, if nothing else - of police is to protect capital and oppress minorities. They are under-trained, over-funded Nazis who commit war crimes, are legally allowed to lie- and thus *provably* Un-Christian - and can’t be fucked to protect their own from a deadly respiratory infection. ACAB is a phrase for a reason.
