Digital identities are not physical ID cards. Biometric data – facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, even gait recognition to identify those who wear masks – renders ID cards obsolete.

Surveillance Prison Taking Shape
Facial recognition is turning us into walking ID cards
By Donna Rachel
When Harvey Eugene Murphy Jr. visited his home state of Texas to get his driving licence renewed, he never imagined the trip would result in him being wrongfully arrested and assaulted in jail.
Yet that is precisely what happened to the 61-year-old grandfather thanks to Houston Police’s reliance on facial recognition technology.
Murphy was arrested in relation to the armed robbery of a Sunglass Hut store in Houston. But while the real thieves were making off with thousands of dollars in cash and merchandise, Murphy was back home in California, nowhere near the scene. By the time the Harris County District Attorney’s office in Texas figured that out, it was already too late – three men had sexually assaulted Murphy in a bathroom in jail, leaving him with permanent injuries.
“Mr Murphy’s story is troubling for every citizen in this country,” said Daniel Dutko, a lawyer representing Murphy. “Any person could be improperly charged with a crime based on error-prone facial recognition software, just as he was.”
If you think that such things could never happen in the UK, think again. Some British police forces already use facial recognition tech. London’s Met Police use it on the streets routinely. It was also used last year to watch crowds at the King’s Coronation, at an Arsenal v Tottenham match, at a Beyonce gig, and even on F1 Grand Prix day at Silverstone.
According to civil liberties group Big Brother Watch, since the Met Police started using facial recognition tech, 85% of all matches identified by the system were wrong. The figure for South Wales police is even worse: 90% of matches were incorrect. “We’ve [personally] witnessed people being wrongly stopped by the police because facial recognition misidentified them,” the group said in a report.
Despite these disastrous figures, policing minister Chris Phelps wrote to police chiefs last October urging them to “double the number of [facial recognition] searches by May 2024, so they exceed 200,000 across England and Wales.”
“This dangerously authoritarian technology has the potential to turn populations into walking ID cards in a constant police lineup,” said Silkie Carlo, director of Big Brother Watch.
Her comment highlights the real problem here. When people think “digital ID,” they think of a card or passport, something with a reference number. But biometric data – facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, even gait recognition to identify those who wear masks – renders ID cards obsolete.
Consequently, when Tony Blair and William Hague jointly released a report in February last year calling for “a secure, private, decentralised digital-ID system,” the Prime Minister’s spokesman was able to say with a straight face: “There are no plans to introduce digital ID. Our position on physical ID cards remains unchanged. We are already carrying out work to enhance the digitalisation of public services.”
But the government doesn’t have to let citizens know that they are in a surveillance system by issuing something as obvious as a physical card. Instead, citizens are coerced into handing over their biometric data unwittingly; using face recognition software to unlock their phone, or to check into a hotel, or to open a bank account, or even by simply walking into their local Tesco.
Meanwhile, the government is forging ahead with a vast range of digital ID schemes, such as the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, currently passing through the House of Lords. That bill gives the government widespread powers to tap into data collected by a range of public and private enterprises, including banks.

Scary stuff. Though I live in a relatively remote location, even here I see new electronic devices/cameras erected everyplace-on roadside lights (LED) and kerb side boxes appearing with monotonous regularity-usually green in colour. The pressure to get a smart meter is unrelenting.
5G towers everywhere!
The local Co Op has all the ‘facial recognition’ hardware in place, I doubt you can walk or drive anywhere without your movements being monitored.
Going back to Mr. Murphy’s horrendous experience, do TPTB really care whether or not they’ve got the wrong man? especially if you know the plan.
Because it is created and used for the benefit of the criminals that rule over us.
It will never improve until they are made gone… take that statement as you will most people cannot handle the truth of what must be done.

Hi all,
Please read Revelation 13. Understand a “beast system” using AI, holographic projection, drones, spying of every imaginable kind and brutal authoritarian dictates and relentless lies had been built under our noses. Ask – how on earth could the apostle John – exiled on Patmos circa 80AD – could have *seen* a GLOBAL, dictatorial system – where none could buy or sell without a “mark”?
The tech is in your phone, computer, car, all traffic cams, banking system, all media publishing, all levels of government, and the entire banking system. There is no where to hide or run. Jesus return for His true followers is the ONLY way out of this one.
“And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name”.
[…] Despite these disastrous figures, policing minister Chris Phelps wrote to police chiefs last October urging them to “double the number of [facial recognition] searches by May 2024, so they exceed 200,000 across England and Wales.”[…]Keep reading […]
[…] The piece cites shocking examples of people being wrongfully arrested and assaulted due to faulty facial recognition matches by police. In one horrific case, a 61-year-old grandfather was sexually assaulted in jail after being misidentified for an armed robbery he never committed. Despite error rates as high as 90% for some U.K. police forces using this tech, the government is pushing to double down on its use. […]
