    This is just the beginning. Facial recognition rolling out. Your doorbell cam probably already supports it. Outstanding warrants? They’ll know where you are. Overstayed you visa? The facial recognition found you.

    You weren’t home when the crime was committed, and we don’t have any camera records of you being anywhere else, so now you are a suspect.

    Hope I am just being paranoid, but I’m too cynical to be optimistic at this point.
