Police from Sao Paulo and Rio de Janerio have been given demonstrations of how the device works. |
With the 2014 World Cup just around the corner in Brazil, the country has issued sunglasses with cameras attached that can automatically identify 400 known criminals per second from up to 12 miles away. However most of the scans will occur at about 150 feet. Making it much easier to ferret out known hooligans.
The glasses are wirelessly connected to a central database with the facial profiles. Where a computer program compares each image with points on the face and will immediately signal and matches.
The glasses will be distributed to Police officials from Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro where the key matches of the games will take place.
Major Leandro Pavani Agostini, of Sao Paulo’s Military Police, said: “It’s something discreet because you do not question the person or ask for documents. The computer does it.
“To the naked eye two people may appear identical but with 46,000 points compared, the data will not be beaten.”

This week Michigan State police also started using a high-tech device that connects to almost any personal cell phone – and in mere minutes downloads its entire contents, including call logs, texts, photos and web history. In a big step that has OUTRAGED the ACLU, Michigan State Police have started scanning the cell phones of people pulled over for traffic violations.
All officiers are required to use the device is probable cause or your consent. The real issue at hand is are people even aware that they have the Right to say NO. Police aren’t even obligated to tell you that you have the right to refuse the cell phone scan.
Stay tuned to this story as well as others I’m sure there is much more coming on both of these devices and there are more things on the way just around the corner that will do both of these jobs better, faster and without your permission.
