I have a counterproposal. Using all the uploaded clips of CBP/ICE activity, we build a little voiceprint database which, paired with mobile apps with a passive listening feature will immediately alert people to the presence of potential personnel from those agencies anywhere and everywhere they go.

For that matter, mass data aggregation of their faces, even if covered, will certainly be useful to identify them in the future as the technology evolves. Slow, systematic exclusion from every corner of life when they are off the clock. Refuse to sell food for them, to render services to them, to

even make conversation with them. Shun them. Do not date or mate them. The administration and their backers want eugenics? Let's make that happen by erasing the traits of people who naturally gravitate towards these kinds of positions from the gene pool. A final solution to the police state problem.

That includes facial recognition of US citizens, like many of us here, including our children. Not trusting ICE and this administration with this data. Looks like there will be a drop in border crossings from US to Mexico and Canada.

Good point. In my state, the Real ID scan is my drivers license photo. But border agents will scan everyone passing through the border. We’re approaching the point that the government will know and track every person, all the time. Like China.
