FBI uses facial recognition technology, online photos to identify and arrest ICE Portland protester The criminal complaint lists a pink gas mask and a forearm tattoo as distinct clues that led investigators to use third-party software to help make an arrest.

“Technology has transformed the act of being in public,” Crump said. “People who engage in political protests need to understand that it’s very difficult to do that anonymously.”

    Before anyone says it, no, they wouldn’t deploy this tech if you or I were the victim

    That is one way to gather more control (divide and conquer), and once they have it, they will use it more often and on those that are against them:

    • First they go after those the threw rocks - Fine by me, I wasn’t throwing rocks.
    • Then they go after those who held rocks - Fine by me, I wasn’t holding rocks.
    • Then they go after those who wore masks - Fine by me, I wasn’t wearing no masks.
    • Then they go after those who were shouting - Fine by me, I wasn’t shouting.
    • Then they go after those who were in the protest - Ups, that’s me, who can help me with this? No one, there’s no one left to fight against them… bye…
