The new tool, called Mobile Fortify, uses the CBP system which ordinarily takes photos of people when they enter or exit the U.S., according to internal ICE emails viewed by 404 Media. Now ICE is using it in the field.

Upload a photo of an LAPD cop to identify them. It's not ICE or all jurisdictions, but it's a start.

    Facial recognition gets more false positives on POC. This is just an excuse to lock up innocent people.

    I went to look for this article about two black men who look similar, and found a recent case of similar looking men that were arrested, resulting in a dismissed conviction against one

    I don't think they look identical in pictures, personally, but am also aware of how faulty eyewitness testimony is

    It's difficult to identify cops when they hide their name, badge number, and face. And when they get extra, pro bono legal support when challenged.

    And those are just the developments from this year that I can recall.

    Edit: this was supposed to be a reply to @NoiseColor@lemmy.world but either my app broke or I'm half blind

    So this is why GOP just introduced a bill in MI that would allow the police to force you to remove your mask. Good thing ICE is not police so they can fuck off if they tell me to remove my mask.

    remember when they demanded you take off your mask at the no kings protest?

    “The app uses CBP's Traveler Verification Service and the Seizure and Apprehension Workflow that contains the biometric gallery of individuals for whom CBP maintains derogatory information for facial recognition,” the email reads. The exact definition of derogatory information in this context is not clear but 404 Media has previously reported on a database that ICE uses to find “derogatory” speech online.

    I shouldn't be shocked or surprised, and yet, I am. Fuck this.
