Alert! Canada Police Deploy First 'Facial Recognition' Tech!





http://bit.ly/1zfNXza Canada is adopting some of its North American neighbor’s controversial police methods and dipping its toes into the pool of facial recognition technology, with Calgary police paving the way for a full-scale automated biometric identification system. Beginning this month, the Calgary Police Service will start taking advantage of this software to compare mugshots with videos and photographs captured from crime scenes, CBC reported on Tuesday. Instead of manually sifting through a database consisting of 300,000 mugshots, police will now be able automate that process significantly. Once the department starts doing so, it will become the first law enforcement agency in Canada to employ facial recognition technology. According to officials, the system works via a “complex mathematical algorithm of pattern recognition to quickly screen a database of photos for potential matches.” Quick to comfort those concerned over civil liberties or potential surveillance, Inspector Rosemary Hawkins said the software would only be used in cases where there is an open police investigation. http://bit.ly/1sonOZX
