Now this is some crazy tech that I can support our law enforcement investing in high tech innovation like this. Only it needs to work day and night; thus, sunglasses can't be the only smart glasses.

WeChat: The App That’s Always Watching You | China Uncensored
Is it me, or are does it feel like the WeChat app is watching us? This video is the fourth and final segment from China Uncensored's new half-hour show forma...
The way China has it, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has everyone (ultimately) registered in a database. To add, the CCP has a broader perspective of a "suspect". The CCP has an authoritarian reputation. They impose censorships and routinely sentence political dissidents. The real world and the internet are constantly monitored - all actions are evaluated within the government's "social credit system". Other than registering your biometrics, your social media comments are also being reported. Bad mouth the government, the regular police there has an excuse to pry on you.
However, those are problems in China. Could the U.S. still implement something like this? Perhaps if it was less intrusive, if only convicted individuals of serious crimes are registered in the database. And if the government could assure that this system won't ever become exploited. If only the DOJ wasn't under much controversy as it is. Maybe not now or very soon, but I could see this someday. I'm sure Minority Report will be real within our lifetime.

Yes privacy is something we would least expect in China and everyday we see that as an issue in the US. However, on the topic of technological innovation and law enforcement, the idea of biometrics and facial recognition being pushed down to the officers on the streets is worth exploring. Especially considering the number of false arrests due to mis-identification of suspects with a warrant. Yes the focus should be on utilizing the federal and state criminal databases.
