"The innocent have nothing to fear. The guilty or wanna be crims - your time will come…." Speeding has been the only crime I have done, so like millions i have nothing to fear. But I do fear big brother. one by one civil liberties are being taken away from us. Bans are now on the Internet, free speech is in danger, justice is about to be limited with the removal of juries, people are arrested for holding placards. What do you need to hapen before you relise freedom is under threat. We have to stand up to big brother. | |||

"Facial recognition, are you for or against it? Personally, I am not sure as it reminds me of criminals being branded, to punish them and shame them to the pulic at the same time. A.I. when will an app be created showing people how to alter enough of thier facial features to make biometrics unacceptable as evidence. As Facial recognition is not fulproof plus A.I. it seems only a matter of time befor eall videos used currently used in evidence are deemed unexceptable. " I guess for that argument you'd have to prove that AI was used on every bit of video surveillance that the accused was captured on | |||

People will just suck it up as usual, and within a few years it will be accepted as being perfectly normal. | |||

"Facial recognition is used by law enforcement to catch criminals. That's a good thing." Also to harass people peacefully demonstrating, or those who just turned up to see what was going on. | |||

"people are arrested for holding placards." Well that is very much going to depend on what is written on the placards. There are a number of things that would break various laws - and I’m not going to even try and give examples as they would either be blocked by the prohibited words list or removed by the mods. If you are referring to the ones about palistinian action, well they only have themselves to blame. If some of their members had not damaged those military transport planes they probably wouldn’t have been proscribed. The reason they were proscribed is because the action of damaging the military transport planes was not covered by existing laws that people would think would cover it. Treason - that only covers trying to do away with the head of state or overthrow the government. Sabotage/Espionage - they only cover acts committed for foreign agents or those in the pay of a foreign government. About all they could be charged with is criminal damage which in no way reflects the severity of the damage they caused (what if the transport was needed to evacuate people). By proscribing PA that means that they are classed as terrorists so any further actions like that can be treated and charged under anti-terror laws. However, it does mean that anyone supporting PA is then complicit. As I said they only have themselves to blame for being proscribed due to the actions of some of their members. | |||
