The FBI expects the NGI system to include as many as 14 million photographs by the time the project is in full swing in only two years, but the pace of technology and the new connections constantly created by law enforcement agencies could allow for a database that dwarfs that estimate. As RT reported earlier this week, the city of Los Angeles now considers photography in public space “suspicious,” and authorizes LAPD officers to file reports if they have reason to believe a suspect is up to no good. Those reports, which may not necessarily involve any arrests, crimes, charges or even interviews with the suspect, can then be filed, analyzed, stored and shared with federal and local agencies connected across the country to massive data fusion centers. Similarly, live video transmissions from thousands of surveillance cameras across the country are believed to be sent to the same fusion centers as part of TrapWire, a global eye-in-the-sky endeavor that RT first exposed earlier this year.

Would this have happened without 911?

I think not

Who has killed more people through out history, goverment or criminals?

Goverment, by a factor of one million times as many

What would be too much government power?

What is scary about facial recognition? With security cameras on every building already you are most likely on camera for a good part of each day already.

What makes you think were going to get off of our comfy lazy boys and actually get to taking to the streets, let alone killing some corrupt politicians/bankers?

Do you honestly feel two hundred million strong would EVER come together and fight/die for what is right?

It would be lucky if two thousand armed civilians actually took to the streets and made a stand for what IS RIGHT. We are too dumbed down, too comfortable, too scared honestly. We are scared to miss a payment, we are scared to miss a football game, we are scared... to lose our lives. Meanwhile our lives are becoming more unbearable for each new generation. There needs to be a tipping point, but we keep holding on.......
