  Shitty facial recognition sw is scarier that good

  on Facial Recognition Company Clearview Lied About Its Crime-Solving Power In Pitches To Law Enforcement Agencies

  The more error prone the algorithm and the bigger the pool of photos the higher the likelihood you’ll be flagged as a possible match. In spite of the bad smell, Clearview AI is getting a lot of good press

  Re: "Cops are not your friends..." -- until you need them?

  Yes - involve them when you need them and stay out of their way when you don't. I think that would be their choice as well. When they are in the costume they're not looking for friends.

  But this is about the inadvertent involvement of police. Perhaps friends bring a friend to your home, the video is subpoenaed / leaked / hacked. Facial recognition from someone like Clearview AI identifies the friends friend as a suspect, now you are too through the association.

  I remembered seeing this Kickstarter campaign

  I believe the campaign failed but I thought the idea had merit. I don't know if they exaggerated the video, but what they show looks impressive.

  Looks like they survived - here's a product website
