In all three cases, the authorities had the wrong people. In all three, it was face recognition technology that told them they were right.
It stands in a long line of technologies designed to monitor people and determine who has the right to move freely within and across borders and boundaries.
Surveillance is predicated on the idea that people need to be tracked and their movements limited and controlled in a trade-off between privacy and security. The assumption that less privacy leads to more security is built in. That may be the case for some, but not for the people disproportionately targeted by face recognition technology.
