Tony Blair on the incredible "benefits" of combining digital ID with facial recognition and AI. "Facial recognition can now spot suspects in real time from live video... [It] helps identify suspects quickly in busy places like train stations and events."
"AI will go even further—spotting crime patterns, guiding patrols and streamlining decisions... This is where technology, like digital ID, becomes critical."
"We can ensure that digital ID enhances rather than threatens personal privacy. The key is building trust and designing... systems that are... effective at combatting crime and making us all safer."
Count Dankula: The funniest thing about all of this is if you are the victim of a crime and you call the police, or even if you put the work in and track down the criminal yourself and call the police like "hey I found the guy I'm literally outside his house and I can literally see my stolen property through his window", the police STILL won't show up.Even when cops have a positive ID, CCTV footage, the guys name, address, everything, they don't show up.
So trying to push the whole "this will help us identify suspects faster" b*llsh*t doesn't wash when you already don't do anything after you identify suspects.
We know what this is really for, and I wish Tony Blair, the phantom of the opera of British politics that he is, would just f*ck off.
