Couple this with the FBI's facial recognition system along with New York and Pennsylvania's driver's license facial recognition systems already in place.
With the proper computerized software (along with E-ZPass) and investigators could potentially track you from Allentown to New York and most of the places you visit while on foot in the city. Question is what they do with the information?
* Enforce unpaid parking/speeding tickets by pulling you over on the other side of the bridge or tunnel?
* Enforce outstanding domestic warrants or others too numerous to mention?
* Perhaps just pull you aside for questioning if the software detects "suspicious" behavior
But wait you say.. I have nothing to hide. I wouldn't be too sure of that. If the software flags someone acting suspicious who do you think the cop believes, the software or your reassuring words? Why would he/she not think it's a much better idea to take you in for further questioning?
Then there arises the question of who are entering what information to the database. The computer is only as good as what is put into it. Garbage in.. Garbage out. Who among us has not gotten a bill or charge entry that wasn't credited or screwed up in some way? It's one thing to have these kind of things happen, it's entirely another matter when it's your own person in a strange city.
Could one day the NYPD sell your shopping and eating habits to commercial interests to offset their costs? Nothing would surprise me at this point. When does information become too much information?
