[not actual glasses, hopefully they aren't this obvious]
As they prepare for the 2014 World Cup, police in Brazil are now testing out new facial recognition shades called “RoboCop” glasses because they are outfitted with a tiny camera. Without walking up to you and asking your name, from up to 12 miles away cops will now be able to use the glasses to scan crowds at 400 faces per second and see if anyone they looked at is in a database of criminals and terroroists. The camera reportedly analyzes 46,000 points on a person’s face so the chance of it being wrong is very slim.
Welcome to the future, expect officers to see you with these in your city any day now.

Wha…Wha….Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! “from up to 12 miles away cops will now be able to use the glasses to scan crowds at 400 faces per second”. I don’t know what future I’ve woken up to but I am a little bit sceptical to say the least.
Big Brother in full effect…!
it’s getting soooo hard to be a criminal these days. wtf?!
LOL.
So if I go protest and some cops roll by with one of these it records who was there, damn thats just freedom to associate going down the drain in one go
They prolly been using this technology for years. From the specs you guys have given, they would’ve been able to create these YEARS ago. Cool to see that some of the “Top Secret” shit is getting used publicly though.
“ILLUMINATI got my mind, soul, and my body……Secret Society trying to keep their eye on me” – Prodigy of Mobb Deep fame. He was so right. All those years people hoped for flying cars and such, nope the gov. is using tax dollars to fund things like this instead. I’m “sure” Brazil developed this technology….Bwahaha
Whqt stops the criminal from having plastic surgery. Recoignize thqt. “look at me know”
It was suggested that computer wizards hack into the database and replace all the facial recognition points with those of Cheney, Bush, Rice, Rumsfeld, Kissinger, et al.
The REAL TERRORISTS.
