Future plans: A tool to recognize faces

        The State police will soon have the latest face-recognition technology. They are now expanding surveillance camera network's to screen entry and exit airports, railway stations, stadiums, and key government offices and etc.. for people with criminal or terror links. Senior police officers say "the technology is likely to be implemented first at the landmark Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple here and later at other locations, including vital establishments vulnerable to sabotage in Kochi and Kozhikode. " The technology will enable law-enforcers to track and capture single or multiple faces when people enter or exit important institutions through access-controlled channels covered from all angles with cameras. This type of technology is a good strategy for finding criminals, but it also seems like with this type of technology people would have to register themselves somehow for the police to find who's committed a crime or not. With this type of technology it can go either good or bad.
