UK can now scan fingerprints in the street and check national and immigration databases

[Yossarian]

The government doesn't want to make itself even more unpopular by trying to force an identity cards bill through Parliament, so it's working on turning parts of our bodies into identity cards instead.

It sounds pretty much like this thing that they have had for a decade.
Police will use new device to take fingerprints in street

 

[Baronage-Phase]

I won't even use the fingerprint scanner on my own phone....in case big brother gets access to it.

I hate what the world has become.

They've been using it on police interceptors for ages. They do have to call for it to be brought out, rather than every car having one

Scary stuff


And yes I watch police interceptors

 

[Pickman's model]

Ever travel abroad? My prints are on databases in a few countries already. I haven't been committing crimes there so no big deal.

Yeh. You say this because you've fallen for the no two fingerprints look the same bit.

Yeh. Wait till you see what happens next.

What's coming down the line?

I saw a programme on microchippimg people. Don't tell me that is going to come in for all?

Some of us just weren’t born for these times!

Wasn't this sort of thing always inevitable? How long will it be before those police body-cameras are directly hooked up to online face recognition? It'll all happen eventually...

the police cameras also record sound, unless cops are beating the crap out of someone in which case the cameras automatically turn off sound and vision.

The scene with the blender in Luther also, fuuuuuuuuuck

 

[The39thStep]

Are you serious?
Will you not see a problem with it when they want to biochip you at birth?
Will you not see a problem with it when they bring back internment without trial, because someone looks like they might commit a crime?
How about guilty until proven innocent? Surely only criminals would have a problem with that, eh!

Can't really see a handheld device that does the same as what would be done in a police station ushering in all this tbh.

Earprints, tongue prints, and retina scans:

You're more unique than you know - CNN

ears may take some work

I just hope they don't go around trying to take tongue prints with metal tools on freezing winter nights.

Stop giving the sadists ideas.

 

[Horus Snacks]

I can't see a problem with it in general terms.

Does the scanning save new prints to the db?

According to the Home Office the data will be deleted.

According to reality, bollocks.

It is already happening. The cunts use them at football matches. Sin now pay later

 

[sealion]

This is why these are popular amongst football thugs.

it's not quite the same as at a police station

i recall being nicked for breach of the peace some years ago, and on arrival at the station was asked if i wanted to give a dna sample and fingerprints and have my picture taken. i said i didn't want to but i doubted my objection counted for much. to my surprise it's up to you to give permission for this as breach of the peace not a crime.

I think the author of the article has got the wrong end of the stick.

Police (some forces) have had finger scanners connected to mobiles to check a person against a database for at least five years, with experimental and trial ones before that. I.e. does the person with the cop match a database.

The new technology publicised this week is a scanner than can take finger print marks from a scene of crime and compare them to a database. I.e. does the person who touched this object and has now fucked off match a person in the database.

 

[stuff_it]

I anticipate that these machines will eventually be used to harvest the fingerprints of those who turn out not to be on one of these databases.

does this person who touched this object at some unknown time and in an unknown place match someone in the database.

Aka in court as ' A technical malfunction beyond our control'
