Welcome To The Minority Report: Thousands Of Stores Plan Facial Recognition Use For Anti-Theft
By Aaron KeselHundreds of retail stores and soon thousands are investigating using biometric facial recognition software FaceFirst to build a database of shoplifters to aid in the fight against theft, Peter Trepp CEO of FaceFirst told BuzzFeed News.
The software is called FaceFirst and is designed to scan faces as far as 50 to 100 feet away. As customers walk through a store entrance, the video camera captures repetitious images of each shopper and chooses the clearest one to store. The software then analyzes that image and compares it to a database of “bad customers” that the retailer has compiled; if there is a match, the software sends an alert to store employees that a “high risk” customer has entered the door.
Privacy advocate groups, attorneys, and even recently Microsoft, which also markets its own facial recognition system, have all raised concerns over the technology, pointing to issues of consent, racial profiling, and the potential to use images gathered through facial recognition cameras as evidence of criminal guilt by law enforcement.

Citizens arrested before they commit
FUTURE CRIMES receive ‘enhanced prosecution’
Source: MassPrivateI
Nearly 1,500 people were arrested earlier this year, because they were put on a police ‘Strategic Subject List‘ (SSL). The SSL was formerly called the ‘Heat List‘ which started in 2013. (SSL is just another term for Predictive Policing)
According to CBS Chicago police are using an algorithm to predict who’ll commit a crime in the future!
The SSL uses an algorithm to try to predict who is most likely to be involved in a shooting – either as the shooter or victim – by analyzing data such as gang affiliations, criminal records, past shootings, and previous contact with police.
The list includes about 1,500 people, who police have said are responsible for the majority of gun violence in Chicago.
Police are arresting people before they commit a crime
Special Order S10-06 allows police to arrest people before they commit a crime.
The primary goal of Targeeted Repeat-Offender Apprehension and Prosecution (TRAP) is focused onenhanced prosecution to detain, convict, and incarcerate these offenders before they commit further crimes of violence. (TRAP is part of the SSL)
Citizens are being rank-ordered by police
By calling potential victims of violence PTV’s they’re deliberately dehumanizing victims. This is another move by our government to separate police from the public.
Citizens, assigned the highest scores are visited (spied on) by community members, social service workers and cops.
Earlier this year, I warned everyone that social workers, ministers, doctors etc., are spying on citizens.
Religious organizations boast, about collaborating with law enforcement.
Churches pay the government $100 a month to spy on families
For more information about religious spying read: Health & Wellness programs are really a national ‘behavioral’ surveillance program, ‘DHS wants to recruit Muslim communities to spy on themselves.’
Police are secretly ranking ‘influential citizens’
Police are creating secret lists of citizens
What is a person’s ‘trend line’?
As near as I can tell, law enforcement’s definition of a ‘trend line’ is just another word for their criminal history.
According to Special Order S10-05, police are creating secret lists of citizens.
SSL created to seize citizens property
Police are creating secret lists of suspicious citizens
The CPD’s database also includes information about disturbance calls and calls regarding suspicious persons. Police are also spying on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter etc., to aid them in putting citizens on their SSL.
The NSA and DHS created SSL
According to the UK Daily Mail, Miles Wernick from the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) was the principal designer of the NSA/DHS’s future crimes list.
The IIT has been designated a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education by the NSA and DHS. “We invite you to collaborate with IIT’s Center for Cyber Security and Forensics Education…”
Fyi, Microsoft is working with the NSA and DHS to arrest people for future crimes.
Reporter admits SSL violates our civil rights
Police target and arrest citizens placed on SSL
Police used secret lists to illegally arrest and interrogate 7000 citizens
At least 7000 citizens had been illegally detained inside a Chicago police warehouse described by some of its arrestees as a secretive interrogation facility. Click here to read more.
For more info. about predictive policing read, ‘DHS’s crystal ball will identify and arrest future school shooters‘ and ‘Risk assessments are being used to sentence people to jail and death .’
This is the future of NSA/DHS policing, where anyone put on the SSL can expect to receive enhanced prosecution. Soon, every American will be given a rank-order SSL!

China Aggressively Pursues Pre-Crime Technology To Catch Evil-Doers Before They Act
TN Note: China is run by technocrats who rule with an iron fist. Surveillance in China is turning into an art form, driven by technology-crazed engineers and scientists who believe that they can completely control their citizens. There are few laws preventing them from accomplishing this.
China’s effort to flush out threats to stability is expanding into an area that used to exist only in dystopian sci-fi: pre-crime. The Communist Party has directed one of the country’s largest state-run defense contractors, China Electronics Technology Group, to develop software to collate data on jobs, hobbies, consumption habits, and other behavior of ordinary citizens to predict terrorist acts before they occur. “It’s very crucial to examine the cause after an act of terror,” Wu Manqing, the chief engineer for the military contractor, told reporters at a conference in December. “But what is more important is to predict the upcoming activities.”
The program is unprecedented because there are no safeguards from privacy protection laws and minimal pushback from civil liberty advocates and companies, says Lokman Tsui, an assistant professor at the School of Journalism and Communication at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, who has advised Google on freedom of expression and the Internet. The project also takes advantage of an existing vast network of neighborhood informants assigned by the Communist Party to monitor everything from family planning violations to unorthodox behavior. A draft cybersecurity law unveiled in July grants the government almost unbridled access to user data in the name of national security. “If neither legal restrictions nor unfettered political debate about Big Brother surveillance is a factor for a regime, then there are many different sorts of data that could be collated and cross-referenced to help identify possible terrorists or subversives,” says Paul Pillar, a nonresident fellow at the Brookings Institution.
Building a crystal ball to predict and prevent terror attacks, a real-world version of Minority Report, is the ultimate goal of crime fighters the world over. But, so far, more data has just meant more noise, security experts say. “There are not enough examples of terrorist activity to model what it looks like in data, and that’s true no matter how much data you have,” says Jim Harper, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute. “You need yeast to make bread. You can’t make up for a lack of yeast by adding more flour.”
China was a surveillance state long before Edward Snowden clued Americans in to the extent of domestic spying. Since the Mao era, the government has kept a secret file, called a dang’an, on almost everyone. Dang’an contain school reports, health records, work permits, personality assessments, and other information that might be considered confidential and private in other countries. The contents of the dang’an can determine whether a citizen is eligible for a promotion or can secure a coveted urban residency permit. The government revealed last year that it was also building a nationwide database that would score citizens on their trustworthiness.

Pentagon’s Secret Pre-Crime Program To Know Your Thoughts, Predict Your Future
Wikipedia
TN Note: This is NOT science fiction. Read every word of this article. Predictive behavior analysis is the big rage among technocrats who are bent on “scientific social engineering”. The only hindrance to a complete rollout of this technology is the more advanced computing power needed to analyze big data in real-time mode – but it is very close. Total Awareness Society is a long-established requirement for Technocracy.
The US Department of Defense (DoD) wants contractors to mine your social media posts to develop new ways for the US government to infer what you’re really thinking and feeling — and to predict what you’ll do next.
Pentagon documents released over the last few months identify ongoing classified research in this area that the federal government plans to expand, by investing millions more dollars.
The unclassified documents, which call on external scientists, institutions and companies to submit proposals for research projects, not only catalogue how far US military capabilities have come, but also reveal the Pentagon’s goals: building the US intelligence community’s capacity to forecast population behavior at home and abroad, especially groups involved in political activism.
They throw light on the extent to which the Pentagon’s classified pre-crime R&D has advanced, and how the US military intends to deploy it in operations around the world.
Could your social media signature reveal your innermost thoughts?
A new Funding Opportunity Announcement document issued by the DoD’s Office of Naval Research (ONR) calls for research proposals on how mining social media can provide insight on people’s real thoughts, emotions and beliefs, and thereby facilitate predictions of behavior.
The research for Fiscal Year 2016 is part of the Pentagon’s Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University Research Initiative (MURI), which was initiated over 25 years ago, regularly producing what the DoD describes as “significant scientific breakthroughs with far reaching consequences to the fields of science, economic growth, and revolutionary new military technologies.”
The document calls for new work “to understand latent communication among small groups.” Social meaning comes not just from “the manifest content of communication (i.e., literal information), but also from latent content — how language is structured and used, as well as how communicators address each other, e.g., through non-verbal means — gestures, head nods, body position, and the dynamics in communication patterns.”
The Pentagon wants to understand not just what we say, but what is “latent” in what we say: “Subtle interactions such as deception and reading between the lines, or tacit understanding between communicators, relative societal position or relationship between communicators, is less about what is said and more about what is latent.”
All this, it is imagined, can be derived from examining social media, using new techniques from the social and behavioral sciences.
The Pentagon wants to:
“… recognize/predict social contexts, relationships, networks, and intentions from social media, taking into account non-verbal communication such as gestures, micro-expressions, posture, and latent semantics of text and speech.”
By understanding latent communication, the Pentagon hopes to develop insight into “the links between actors, their intentions, and context for use of latent signals for group activity.” The idea is to create:
“… algorithms for prediction and collection of latent signals and their use in predicting social information.”
These algorithms also need to “accurately detect key features of speech linked to these structural patterns (e.g., humor, metaphor, emotion, language innovations) and subtle non-verbal elements of communication (e.g., pitch, posture, gesture) from text, audio, and visual media.”
The direct military applications of this sort of information can be gleaned from the background of the administrator of this new research program, Dr. Purush Iyer, who is Division chief of Network Sciences at the US Army Research Laboratory (USARL).
Among the goals of Dr. Iyer’s research at the US Army are expanding “Intelligent Networks” which can “augment human decision makers with enhanced-embedded battlefield intelligence that will provide them with tools for creating necessary situational awareness, reconnaissance, and decision making to decisively defeat any future adversarial threats.”
Creeping police state
The allure of co-opting Big Data to enhance domestic policing is already picking up steam in the US and UK.
In the US, an unknown number of police authorities are already piloting a software called ‘Beware’, which analyses people’s social media activity, property records, the records of friends, family or associates, among other data, to assign suspects a so-called “threat-score.”
That “threat-score” can then be used by police to pre-judge if a suspect is going to be dangerous, and to adapt their approach accordingly.
Given the police’s discriminatory track record with shootings of unarmed black people skyrocketing, the extent to which such ‘Minority Report’-style policing could backfire by justifying more discriminatory policing is alarming.
In the UK, Home Secretary Theresa May just last week told the Police ICT Suppliers Summit that polices forces should use predictive analytics to “identify those most at risk of crime, locations most likely to see crimes committed, patterns of suspicious activity that may merit investigation and to target their resources most effectively against the greatest threats.”
Noting that the police have yet to catch up with the “vast quantities of data” being generated by citizens, she complained: “Forces have not yet begun to explore the crime prevention opportunities that data offers.”
In reality, the shift to predictive policing in the UK is well underway, with Greater Manchester, Kent, West Midlands, West Yorkshire and London’s Metropolitan Police having undertaken trials of a software known as “PredPol.”
