Facial Recognition Technologies Will Backfire on Undercover Police and CIA

The other day, I was looking at a surveillance photo of a giant gathering in Canada. There must have been 100,000 people on the main Street, and this was right before the big riots after Canada lost the big hockey game. In this surveillance photo you could zoom-in to each individual and look at their face and it was so vivid, crisp, and clear you could easily recognize everything about the individual, and perhaps close enough to even read the label on their shirt tag had it been open and in plain view.
