"I don't think that I would let this completely take me away from my hobby. Although, I would definitely be a lot more careful and check the weather before I went hiking. If it was very cold at all, I would probably save it for another time."

"I agree that facial recognition could change a way someone lives their life. I think, if it is kept in the right hands and kept somewhat private, it will be a huge benefit to our society because of the quick features and unique capabilities."

4Michael replied to 4Michael's discussion Facial Recognition In Law Enforcement
"I agree that facial recognition features are very unique, and it would be hard to mix people up because nobody's face is 100% identical. Although, I do think people need to be careful to keep their facial ID private."

4Michael replied to 4Michael's discussion Facial Recognition In Law Enforcement
"I agree that it should probably come down to whether or not the state or city wants to use facial ID or not. If the federal government makes a law that says everyone has to use it or it is banned, it could upset a lot of people."
