Amazing photo

[Newt]

This is a photo of a crowd outside a major sporting event. It covers several city blocks and quite a few thousand people. You can zoom in on a section with enough clarity to easily read baseball cap logos on any person in the crowd or zoom out to see the entire group.

 

Awesome bit of technology.

Coming soon to an oppressive regime near you.

Giga-pixel photography linked to the same databases as used for biometric passport/driving licence production and the very latest in computerised facial recognition software.

Dare you show your face at a pro democracy rally ? A peace march ? A trade union meeting ?

If you do, you better hope that the snatch squads don't come a calling.

 

I can see it now, in four or five years with the shift of economic wealth from west to east, the US plunges into depression and real poverty gets a grip the likes of which haven't been seen since the 1930's.

People take to the streets in protest and the response of the state is to identify the troublemakers using this sort of technology and quietly lock down their bank accounts, social security payments, credit cards, telephones. Internet connections, power supplies, water and everything else.

There are a few like that. There's one with a guy standing with a pair of long legs round his neck, leading to a pair of denim shorts, (in the style of Daisy Duke), and that's it! No torso! (but nice legs though).

In the midst of a froth of political comments how did you notice that one? I know that girl, she's blind and deaf - her dad's in the liquior business.

I've got a 'nose' for some things, Phone.

 

If you go down from the yellow traffic light near the Georgia St sign, you will see where the lamp post is misaligned. The legs are about 4 people to the left.

The guy that sent it to me included a few paragraphs of paranoid political commentary (possible certainly but ...) along with the photo. I'm glad to see it has sorta turned to fun here after a somewhat rocky start.
