Public comment regarding the use of facial recognition cameras in Davis
by Grant Orwell
 
I fully support the efforts to monitor the activities of everyday Americans in public and in private and through government-corporate partnership to record every piece of data possible about their persons, activities, transactions, movements, social network, communications, ideas, thoughts, dreams, and emotions. People are simply too violent and dangerous to leave any other options on the table.

Since all the areas of surveillance I've mentioned above aren't yet technologically possible yet, I recommend that we implement this approach in phases, of which the use of facial recognition technology is the logical next step towards this positive totalitarian vision, which in the case of good government, will lead us to infinite goodness and rightness. In the case of bad actors taking over government to implement a vision similar the story told by a George Orwell (no relation), I say that we shouldn't fear of that outcome or let negativity get in the way of good government-corporate partnership to create the most vast domestic surveillance data analytics web rivaled only by the Chinese Communist Party and Batman. I mean, when in history have the bad guys taken over by the government and gotten a hold of all of the tools that could be used to further oppress people?

Human rights, as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America shouldn't really be a consideration when questioning when to implement the Technocratic State and I think Davis needs to do more to bring forth the latter, so I'm pleased by this initiative to implement facial recognition cameras throughout Davis.

Thanks for considering my thoughts! I hope they are tracked and recorded somewhere meaningfully for all of time.
 
Sincerely,
-Grant Orwell

People are simply too violent and dangerous to leave any other options on the table.

Unfortunately, some people are. And they keep letting them out to harm others, even when they do catch them.

Strangely-enough, some look at the outcome of arrests and incarceration as if it would logically represent the population as a whole. (I don't know of any system that does.)

For one thing, a whole lot more men in that system (vs. women), whatever those terms mean these days.

In regard to myself, I say go for it - if you want to bore the machines to death. Hey, maybe that's what some are hoping for?
