WA police surveillance cameras: AI technology to monitor public spaces

WA police launch real-time AI camera surveillance to catch criminals

WA Police will become the first force in the country to use real-time AI-generated facial recognition in public spaces.

The state government on Friday launched the Overt Live Facial Recognition program with a trial of the cameras at the police academy in Joondalup

The technology monitors groups of people from police vans and compares faces against a database of targets in real-time.

A 2018 Facebook post from me: tbh, i can see police body cameras being linked to facial recognition databases in the future, and becoming a tool of state surveillance used against the populace instead of tools surveilling the state and protecting the populace.

    Uncageable

    From the light of freedom to a concrete tomb,
    The fall was great and swift.
    My soul cried out in a mighty boom,
    How could it come to this?

    Clamped down, trapped stuck,
    Paralyzed in a tiny cage.
    Had fate left me not a drop of luck?
    Was there reason for this rage?

    Told to lay down and die,
    Something deep inside me stirred.
    I can’t be caged I have to fly!
    Not yet am I interred.

    They can take my body, tie me down,
    It matters not a bit.
    My spirit still runs wild and free,
    So in freedom here I sit.

    Hand drawn image of a man interred in prison. He is kneeling in his cell between the bunk and desk cabinet, envisioning a scene above his head of a couple holding hands and giving thanks over food and a crowd seated together and a couple in the distance holding hands.
