    The company that makes the cameras (Axon, they also make tasers) has a whole web service for sharing the cam videos. So it’s already going to computers that can run facial recognition. I mean, that exists now. Of course more data means more protesters profiled.

      Strap some IR LED lights and a small battery and toggle to your glasses.

      Decent chance your face is now is big white blob to many cameras.

      Axon tried to recruit me to make payload drones that definitely won’t be used to drop grenades and “definitely” won’t be sold to US police and paramilitary to drop chemical weapons on civilians because it is “against their company values” (the company that tazes each other as an initiation rite).

      I was debating on doing it to try to make everything work as badly as possible and learn how to make civilian countermeasures, but I ended up telling them to go fuck themselves and that they were liars, in no uncertain terms.
