A Long Island attorney says he was kicked out of a Knicks game after getting flagged by facial recognition technology at Madison Square Garden — the same system the company used to boot another lawyer from a Rockettes show.
“I was upset — we had a whole night planned out that got botched,” said lawyer Alexis Majano, 28. “I said, ‘This is ridiculous.'”
Majano — whose law firm has a pending lawsuit against Madison Square Garden Entertainment in an unrelated matter — was headed into the game against the Celtics with pals on Nov. 5 when he was stopped on an escalator, he said.
“A gentleman in a suit stopped me and said, “Are you Alexis Majano? The manager wants to speak with you,” he said. “I noticed security had blocked off the exit.”
One of the workers, who was decked out with a body cam, informed him that the conversation “was being recorded” — then began to grill him, he said.
Majano said the employee asked if he works for the law firm Sahn Ward Braff Koblenz — which recently filed a lawsuit on behalf of a fan who fell from a Skybox at Madison Square Garden during a Billy Joel concert.
Majano, who works for the firm but isn’t involved in the case, said the worker had a long list of attorneys he’d apparently been instructed to kick out.
“He handed me a list of 20 to 30 pages of random names and firms. He asked me … ’Do you work for Sahn Ward? Are you an attorney?’ I said yes,” Majano said.
“They explained very briefly: Any firms with litigation against MSG are banned,” he continued. “I was shocked.”
When Majano asked the worker how the venue had identified him, “He said, ‘We caught you on facial

1984 ALL OVER AGAIN...
We need to buy a large collection of wigs, fake beards, moustaches, moles, plastic chins, phony noses and other such items, as well as the skill to apply them professionally, to get a moment of anonymity.
Like Arnold as the fat women landing on Mars in Total Recall.
This happening in a lot of places and it’s driven by people like Mark Cuban.

The streets are filling up with these types of systems too:
The bottom line is that you are either on the side of those looking or those being looked at.
>> We need to buy a large collection of wigs, fake beards, moustaches, moles, plastic chins, phony noses and other such items
Or wear a Guy Fawkes mask everywhere.
Or, better yet, just stay the hell out of the “bread and circuses” entertainment venues and spend our time on more productive endeavors.
Now they have a reason to ban him because he will now be suing them himself
Wait until they have both facial recognition and Digital I.D. Then, you won’t be able to buy those game tickets.
Facial patterning is easily defeated.
Not so skeletal patterning.
Travelers (anyone leaving their domicile) will be required to consume radioactive isotopes which concentrate in bones.
A scanner will map your “glowing” bone structure from head to toe.
The map of your skeleton will be as unique as a fingerprint.
Dolan is a petty mf. He is going to pay big time now for taking photos of minors without parental permission. Not to bright to target trial lawyers with this nonsense.
Researchers defeat facial recognition systems with universal face mask

This should be illegal.
Yes it should be illegal.
Except for lawyers.
They have been given free rain to sue and screw with people.
Without being held responsible for their actions.
The facial recognition system he uses is probably listed in DHS protocols as a recommended security measure for major entertainment venues.
I think I would enjoy that job.
“I was fairly certain they were right because I didn’t show ID — the tickets didn’t have my name on them,” he said......
some lawyer, they ask his name and he tells them....
Nothing a fake chinese license can’t cure
Social Credit System at work.
Where else is this being used? How much longer until facial recognition with surveillance cameras determines that you said “A man cannot be a woman” and within minutes paypal takes $2,500 from your checking account?
“1984 ALL OVER AGAIN...”
Not really. Every business reserves the right to restrict access as they see fit.
And why should we care if some libtard lawyer gets booted out of an establishment that his own firm is currently suing?
