UnderpantsWeevilThese new ICE Glasses, building on available glasses that allow video recording and heads-up data display, will be able to pulse vast federal holdings of biometric data — from facial recognition to walking gait — to identify people in real-time.
Oh cool. We’ve started handing out the False Positives Device to our Digital Age Gestapo.
Buy guns
This really is the answer
Famously, folks who stockpile guns in their basement are the dominant political force in our society.
That’s why the Northern Colorado secessionist movement was such a success story.
from facial recognition to walking gait
Gentlemen, this is what the ministry of silly walks has been waiting for, for a very long time.
If your walk isn’t silly enough, the machine rejects you from the Ministry applicant pool. This is known as gait-keeping.
it gait rates people. It’s gait rate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVSOHGGgKD4

It won’t help against current tech. Even masks aren’t safe

It’d be a shame if someone figured out how to hack what will undoubtedly be an absolutely abysmally designed product. To create seizures or something.
It’s just a bluetooth camera so no seizures.
But these guys stand out like a beacon if you know what you’re looking for. For example, watching bluetooth traffic and reading the MAC address of the devices, you can determine the manufacturer.
Most regular people do not carry Axon devices so if you see any of their prefixes then you know they’re around. You could create a smartphone app to do this and it could alert you if there are any Axon devices near you.
If everyone was running such an app on their phone it would function kind of like Apple’s AirTag tracking network, every phone could provide geolocation tagged notifications when they detected such a device and others could use that app to ensure that they’re not in those areas.
Nearby Glasses is an app designed to detect smart glasses.

Thanks Yanks, I’m sure this won’t become the new normal worldwide. Mainlining Palantir via AR while Tolkien spins in his grave.
Poor JRR did not realize we would eventually have them for real.
And poor George did not realize we’d take 1984 as a blueprint rather than a warning.
Maybe it’s for the best, that they both died before they had to see.
They’re selling snuff films and gassing each other up with the apparent impunity. Salting the troops maybe? I forget what it’s called.
This tacticruel dork is kitted up like he’s deploying somewhere just to beat up on some abuela.
