‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops

Comments

  I get the impression that the cops are about to hate facial recognition all of the sudden, for no particular reason

    There’s a reason ICE conceal their faces.

    They know what they’re doing is wrong and don’t want to be held accountable if their fascist rule collapses.

      So just use one too and blend in. Put on a stupid Trump or racist hat, and if you are not white, put on gloves. Then surround them.

      Is that why the protestors where them too?

    Cameras. They fucking hate body cameras. When it clears them of wrongdoing, they have the video ready. When they ‘accidentally’ shoot a guy nine times in the back of the head, video seems to be missing.

      easily solvable problem: losing the footage is indication of guilt. you shoot someone, you better have it ready. it malfunctioned, better have a partner who has theirs ready. if no one has footageit’s used as evidence of guilt.

      of course pussy ass lawmakers will never do that.

      I heard a bit on NPR over the weekend talking about copaganda. Turns out body cams are beneficial to cops, because they can take that footage and selectively edit and release it to push a certain narrative.

      If you’ve ever seen a clip on social media, it often starts a few seconds before the cop hits someone, rarely showing the full sequence of events that led up to that point.

      And if they can’t edit the footage to make them look good? “Oops, we didn’t retrieve that footage in time so it was overwritten.”

    Upvoted and agreed, not least because I just learned that “all of the sudden,” while at present a nonstandard variant of “all of a sudden,” has valid history.

    And of course it doesn’t matter in this casual context!

    But in formal writing, in this era, using “a” will avoid distracting the reader from your main point.

      “All of the sudden” is only valid because it’s so commonly (incorrectly) used. Much as it annoys me, that’s just how language works.

      Non-Anglo here.
      Totally not distracted bcs my brain autocorrected it to “all of a sudden” without even noticing.
      A bit like “It deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are”
      Also never seen/heard the “the” variant. (Well consciously that is).

  Should be easy to beat this and not worry about being identified and sued.

  I know it will be hard guys, but how about:

  “Don’t be a power tripping asshole”

  You see people holding signs?

  Don’t be a power tripping asshole and shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them.

  You see people marching?

  Don’t be a power tripping asshole and shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them.

  You see reporters documenting it all?

  Don’t be a power tripping asshole and shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them.

      That’s a fair concern to a degree of course even the most fair sentences might have a disgruntled person on the other end of it but a fair justice system that serves and protects its community equally has little to fear overall. When a justice system is unfair, unequal, does not serve or protects its community that risk goes way up however they only have themselves to blame for the increased risk. An occasional crazy is just the price of being a human but if the public in general is against you, you’ve done that to yourself through your own actions

    Since they’re typically masked, I’d like to see gait recognition serve the working class for once.

    source

    • AmbitiousProcess@piefed.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I was thinking this too! Gait recognition can completely bypass facial coverings as a means of identification, but I also don't think it'll be much help here.

      Gait recognition can be bypassed by things as simple as putting a rock in your shoe so you walk differently, so when you think about how much extra heavy gear, different shoes, and different overall movement patterns ICE agents will possibly be engaging in, it might not hold up well at tracking them down, especially since to recognize someone by gait, you'd need footage of them that you can already identify them in, to then train the model on.

      In the case of fucklapd.com, this was easy because they could just get public record data for headshot photos, but there isn't a comparable database with names directly tied to it for gait. I will say though, a lot of these undercover agents might be easier to track by gait since they'll still generally be wearing more normal attire, and it might be more possible to associate them with who they are outside of work since it's easier to slip up when you're just wearing normal clothes.

      A lot of masks only work in the visible light spectrum. It’s entirely possible to “radar” images and remove them.

    • General_Effort@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      What’s highly illegal in Europe? Taking a photo or using publicly available images to match that photo to?

      1. Taking a photo for that purpose is likely out.

      2. Matching it to any publically available images is definitely out.

      3. Creating a database of face images for searching: Nope.

      4. Using this system is very problematic.

      Some of this is because of the GDPR. So it’s likely to be illegal in the UK, as well. And some is because of the AI Act (in particular 4. but also 3. to some degree). That’s not something that needs to concern Brits.
