“Approximately half of adult Americans’ photographs are stored in facial recognition databases that can be accessed by the FBI, without their knowledge or consent, in the hunt for suspected criminals,” reported The Guardian on Monday.

“About 80% of photos in the FBI’s network are non-criminal entries, including pictures from driver’s licenses and passports.

The algorithms used to identify matches are inaccurate about 15% of the time, and are more likely to misidentify black people than white people.”

Well there you have it, you see the American people are the terrorist, you are the criminal and you are already guilty of crimes you haven't even committed "yet". Oh wait they have PRE CRIME arrest too. Oh so that makes it even more interesting.

See you can be charged with a crime before even committing it. Lovely isn't it.
