Lying Eyes

Worrysome, in tmes of biometric data pools established by governments and face and eye recongition tehcnology entering the public space and camera surveillance at unprecedented pace.

I fear since long that it will become common habit that crimes will be committed and an innocent will be proven guilty by undeniable biometric evidence left behind to either discredit him or to mislead the investigators.

Innocent naivety of many people regarding these and other relevant tehcnolgy implications, is unbelievable. The Nazis started to collect - via the public services and bureaucracy - data on religious affilitation years and years before they started to hunt down Jews - and for that, datapools on this relgious affiliation of peoples were the basis.

Data that gets collected today, information on both your identity markers as well as your personal habits and lifestyle, can become basis for injustice in the widest meaning that will directed against you 10 years or 20 years in the future.

It just takes the state to write an according "law".
