spence i'm at the point where i start to look at this like alot of these critics are, it's a invasion of privacy. I'm a law abiding us citizen, nothing gives these guys the right to take my information and let a computer crunch thru this stuff, next thing you know they'll be a knock at the door because some lawmaker made removing a hangnail in public illegal and they'll want to take you away in cuffs because they found you in a computer database from a redlite camera and cross referenced it to a picture of your third cousin removed and used the dna database to link the hangnail they found on the ground to you. It's kinda funny but the old movies were kinda right where they portray the machines as ruling the world in a police state. I think that's where this stuff is going someday. This is just the beginning. kinda scary.

Today they use all sorts of computer processes to sort through information and detect patterns or similarities that could help prosecute criminals. I'm not sure how using photographs would be any different from a legal perspective...although I'm also not a legal expert.
Is there room for error, sure and a lot of it. But mistaken identity is already accounted for in the process.
