“In the communist Chinese surveillance state, the authorities use facial recognition software, tracking systems and biometric databases that create holographic profiles of every person. Called ‘Bright Eyes,’ this system is straight out of science fiction. It’s the perfect police-state model for controlling the populace along the lines of that ‘1984’ quotation, given it’s impossible to act and speak freely if you’re being watched by people who have the authority to put you in prison. America isn’t there yet, but ALPR technology is leading the long march to this dystopia.” (08/21/26)
