VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - ICBC has been given the green light from BC's privacy commissioner to let the Vancouver Police Department use its facial recognition technology to match pictures of rioters and looters against drivers license photos.
News1130 hit the street, asking if the sharing of ICBC data is an invasion of privacy, or a valuable tool for investigators:
"Yeah, I say go for it," says Jay. "I mean, look at all the damage they did and they had no problem showing their faces to all the cameras, all the cellphones, all the video cameras that people had. Their faces are out there."
Pushpa has no problem with it. "I would definitely go with that, no problem at all. Go after them and make it public. They did very serious crimes."
The BC Civil Liberties Association doesn't like ICBC sharing its data, saying the public insurer is not a branch of the VPD and not in the business of population-based surveillance.作者: tiffiant 時間: 2011-6-22 07:17
