In China, you can now add policemen to that growing list.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=26\">Samsung Chip Workers Approve (Amazing) Deal to Avert Strike<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>According to a report from China Daily, police in China aren\u2019t just using smart glasses for routine police work; they\u2019re donning pairs developed specially for use by cops, with both hardware and software that\u2019s \u201cmade domestically.\u201d Uses among Chinese police, according to the report, include \u201ctraffic management, street patrols, and locating missing people,\u201d which sounds important and useful but also wanes towards the dystopic.<\/p>\n<p>One instance cited in China Daily\u2019s account of police use of smart glasses involves cops identifying an elderly man who was confused and lost. Here\u2019s what a police officer named Zhao Baoxin told the paper:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe found an elderly man at an intersection in Heping district. He couldn\u2019t speak clearly or tell us his name and address. The glasses quickly identified him and within 20 minutes we had reached his family and got him home safely.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On one hand, great. I don\u2019t think anyone can argue with helping elderly people find their way home. On the other hand, oh f*ck no. Clearly, China\u2019s smart glasses are capable of facial recognition, and that facial recognition is being linked to some kind of government database and put in the hands of police. From a civil liberties perspective, that feels like a liability, mayhaps, though there\u2019s nothing altogether surprising about the endeavor.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=24\">Where 8K TVs Flopped, Samsung Hopes 6K Monitors Will Push Screens Forward<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>China has long been a surveillance state, operating what\u2019s considered to be the biggest and most complex CCTV system in the world, consisting of more than 700 million cameras as of 2023. Adding smart glasses with cameras on them and facial recognition feels almost quaint in comparison.<\/p>\n<p>China, though an outlier in the level of surveillance and its brazenness, might not be alone in its endeavors, unfortunately. There are early indications that a similar zest for smart glasses in policework is being echoed by the U.S. government. ICE, in particular, is reportedly looking into developing and deploying its own smart glasses that it can use for similar purposes. Specifically, security journalist Ken Klippenstein reports that ICE wants to use smart glasses in combination with biometric databases and facial recognition to \u201cidentify people in real time.\u201d Yikes.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The fact is that smart glasses, for all their non-spying uses, are also uniquely good for spying, and clearly that has police, both abroad and domestic, intrigued. To make matters worse, Meta, the company with a nightmarish history with facial recognition, is also reportedly interested in the application of smart glasses that can use cameras to recognize people\u2019s faces.<\/p>\n<p>Long story short: if you were already opposed to smart glasses with cameras on them, you might want to buckle up, because the list of reasons to be icked out is growing.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=22\">Cops Want to Turn Your Kid\u2019s School Bus Into a Surveillance Tool<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Custom, government-made smart glasses are finding their way onto the faces of policemen in China, and it sounds like one big privacy violation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gadgets"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
