ICE and the Ever-Widening Surveillance Dragnet
Three years ago, the center revealed that nearly half of all U.S. adults are already in the FBI’s facial-recognition database, which is largely sourced from DMV photos. The documents uncovered this week are the first confirmation that states have granted ICE specifically, not just the FBI, access to those databases.
The image data collection didn't start yesterday and it seems our state governments are as responsible for the collections as the feds.
I read about how China surveils its citizens and I wonder how different our government really is from theirs. I'm afraid that its too late to put the genie back in the bottle.
