Truth And Action 5 hrs · New documents released by the FBI indicate that the Bureau will have a fully operational face recognition database by this summer, which will start with 52 million images of criminals and non-criminals. The FBI has never before linked the criminal and non-criminal fingerprint databases, until now. Its called Next Generation Identification, or NGI and its disconcerting because: - NGI allows all levels of law enforcement to search non-criminal and criminal face records at the same time. So you could become a suspect in a criminal case just because you applied for a government job that required you to submit a photo with your background check. - Second, the FBI and Congress havent enacted meaningful restrictions on what types of data can be submitted to the system, who can access the data, and how the data can be used. For example, nothing prevents the FBI from obtaining photographs off Facebook! - False positives (someone being falsely identified), is a big problem. The system is only accurate 85 percent of the time. Big Brother just keeps getting bigger. truthandaction.org/cant-hide-fbis-new-facial-recognition-system/
