In the near future, humanity lives in a technologically advanced, dystopian society. The government requires that everyone receive an ocular implant that records everything they see. The implant provides an augmented-reality head-up display to the user with information about anyone and anything they may see, as well as recording the user's view. Investigations into crimes amount to detectives reviewing video and assessing whether an alleged perpetrator is innocent or guilty.

Sal Friedland, a detective with the metropolitan police force, crosses paths with a young woman who appears to trigger a glitch in his ocular implant, as no data about her is retrieved. When he reviews his own record of that day, he finds that every single frame of her has been mysteriously deleted. At work, Sal is handed several homicide cases where the victims' own visual records of their deaths are replaced with the killer's point of view, thus hiding the killer's identity. At another murder scene, Sal chases the apparent killer only to nearly be killed when they hack his implant and change what he sees in real time.

I refuse to get a "RealID" for nearly the same reasons.

So, contextually, a constitutional amendment to force private and public use of Juggalo Makeup?

It’s extreme, but bold change requires bold steps.

These are some big rocks you'll need to move, otherwise your amendment won't be worth the paper it's written on. Just saying "you can collect all the data, but don't use it for surveillance" doesn't mean much.

I have no solutions, feels like we missed the boat if there ever was an opportunity to prevent it in the first place. We live in public now.

As long as the recordings aren't centrally stored and sold in bulk, and sold to brokers and governments, that would still be ok.

Otherwise there could not be states with two-party/all-party consent requirements for making an recording.

I think requiring all-party consent for facial recognition would not have 1st amendment issues.

Implementation details and effectiveness are, of course, very different issues.

Edit found a link pretty fast.

Yes, but that's just restating the problem.

I think bribery, blackmail, and extortion have a bit to do with it to.

From chatting with some of the researchers many years ago my understanding is that it usually wasn't accurate enough for unique identification and the gait shadow was dependent on shoe type and clothing, so a persistent gait shadow database wouldn't have been useful. But it could be correlated with ground-based surveillance for identification, for example person A and B were identified on a ground-based security camera entering a building, then gait tracking could be used to monitor where they went after they left the building even if they avoided ground-based security cameras after that point.

I don't think I've heard of it being used though.

it's one of the regulars here i'd say. in my head i see cola/rye/cream as the "always available" at convenient stores etc

We failed so hard

Gibson (and later Stephenson) were prescient enough to realize that anonymity would be a commodity in the near future.

Really excited to see what Apple does with these guys in the upcoming adaptation.

But if you say anything about it, you're an islamophobe.

Same way if you criticize Israel's actions, youre lambasted as a jew-hater. But at least now thats starting to change.

To them Islamic or Arab is monoculture.

Same way all countries in the Mid East are all barbaric and savage. But at least now thats starting to change.

Meanwhile people in the latter group tend to be very specific that their criticism is of a state and its policies, rather than the religion of Judaism or Jews in general, even though their efforts tend to fall on deaf ears.

I am NOT OK with you forcing me to follow some religion's rules.

And yes, I will look down on countries whom choose to force a specific religion on everyone. We can look in our own backyard, with multiple abortion bans, which lead to many women dying due to miscarriage and needing abortion. Was illegal (cause of baby Jesus, spit) so women died.

Or we can look at Saudi Arabia school fire in 2002 where the girls didn't have headdresses and were shoved back in. They died due to radical Islamic bullshit. Or the idea of "Religious police".

Religion and government should never mix. Not ever. Our founding fathers and Marx were all right about that.

My disdain is for all theocratic countries. I dont particularly care for any religion that takes over a government.

And I do include the USA in that, as theocratic fundamentalist christanity. Ive done so since changing the pledge of allegience and adding "in god we trust" on the currency.
