Text on a sign seems like it would be more easily and accurately searchable than faces, if you’re looking for “malcontents” and “troublemakers” to keep an eye on.
The idea that anyone for whatever reason could just take a picture of you with their phone and know your name and where you live is disturbing. Not least because they know you’re not home. Also stalkers’ utopia.
My DL photo is probably online somewhere if those databases are, and any surveillance camera footage, but otherwise, I’m pretty sure I’m not out there. But that could be enough for these bastards.
