Facial Recognition at the DMV
When I went in for my Pennsylvania driver’s license I received a temporary license and a note explaining why the actual license would arrive in the mail within 10 days.
The explanation I recall was something along the lines of running facial recognition on my photograph to make sure I didn’t have any other IDs out there in other states, or under other names in this state. It looks like the technology is going even further, with the FBI using DMV photos to scan for fugitives.
This is all good and beneficial, so long as we can call upon the Coke-Zero Facial Profiler application to point out our “digital doubles” if we are falsely identified—right?
