It’s only 63 stores though. Not all of them
Comment on Bunnings told to destroy 'faceprint' data after landmark ruling on facial recognition use

I wonder what percentage of Australians will have stepped into a Bunnings over the past three years? It has to be above 90% of us, right? That’s pretty close to a record of us all.

It is now rolled out to all Bunnings stores. So now when you steal something they don’t apprehend you, they store the footage and once you steal enough to get the cops involved they dump all that footage on the cops desk. People think they get away with stealing, time says otherwise.

I’m sorry, but this is about facial recognition, not an AI that can figure out if someone is shoplifting? They don’t pay someone to sift through all that footage and note down when someone is actually stealing, that just doesn’t happen. Let alone that the cameras don’t have full coverage of the store. So your statement is just not accurate.

So I worked at Bunnings and you’re right and wrong.

So what do you think they are doing with the data?

It’s all wesfarmers, and i’m pretty fucking sure that shit doesn’t stop at bunnings stores.
