SACRAMENTO — California Assemblyman Phil Ting has never been arrested, but he was recently mistaken for a criminal. He’s not surprised.

All the hardware and software needed for this stuff is already here. And cloud computing (that is, computing power on demand) plus wireless connectivity means that it can be done in real time. And, most likely, already is done.

I’m saddened to hear the facial recognition software in California committed suicide next Friday.

Facial recognition software mistook 1 in 5 California lawmakers for criminals... (under reporting)So, in other words, the legislators want to ban the facial recognition program because it is too accurate?
DANG!

get back to work Nah, the best thing that could happen is for the gang of 121 to all be sent to Folsom State Prison for negligence and depraved indifference.
IMHO, the less time the California Legislature is in session, the less damage they can do to this state for the foreseeable future.

Was there ever any gun play on “Dragnet”? I know Broderick Crawford could shoot a snubnose from the hip with uncanny accuracy. Cannon and Mannix, too.

Yes, but not a lot. One I remember was Friday stopping by a laundromat oh his way home, catches a guy breaking into the coin boxes. Guy pulls a gun and Friday shoots him.
Most of the episode was about the shooting board investigating the incident.

A lot on the radio version and some from the early series.
Cannon got shot in the arm every other episode it seemed.

That means, then, that you can identify, by name, the 20% of Kali-Fornia politicians who are honest?
