Would getting a law-enforcement officers database publicly available help in fighting facial recognition?

To what extend?

- non violence? Having such a database is not going to help you much

- if you plan on threatening, then maybe.

I realised a long time ago that I barely have any say in what countries are changing to. I pretty much just pay taxes without any control whatsoever.

So I decided to treat countries as hotels.

Instead of wasting years trying to lobby against one tiny things, I just treat countries as hotels.

I pay taxes. But when I am not satisfied anymore, I just move to somewhere else.

threatening

Not threatening, but possibly to make them more aware of the problem... It's just the first idea that came to me.

You could move to another country, but tracking technologies are spreading everywhere... it just feels like everywhere will be the same, soon.

Either way, the bad actors will soon track all individuals from space or some other methods (i.e.: 5G or Apple's massive Bluetooth network), if they don't already do it.
