American border agents ask to help take pictures of everyone who enters the country by car

Customs protection and border protection in the United States require technology companies to send stadiums to the actual face recognition tool that would take pictures of each person in a vehicle at a crossing crossing, including anyone in the rear seats, and their conformity with travel documents, according to a document published in a federal record last week.

The information request, or RIF, says that CBP has already has a face recognition tool that takes a picture of a person in the entry port and compares it to travel or identity documents that a person offers to a border employee, as well as other forms of these documents “in government holdings”.

The document says: “Vital confirmed entries are added in the United States to the passenger transit record,” the document.

Under Internal Security Administration, CBP says the facial recognition tool “currently works in air, sea and land pedestrian environments.” The agency’s goal is to bring it to the “ground vehicle environment”. according to Page on the website CBP on the web The agency was updated last week, which “test” how to do this. RIF says that these tests show that although this face recognition tool is “improved”, it is always unable to get pictures of all complex passengers, especially if they are in the second or third row.

“Human behavior, multiple passenger compounds and environmental obstacles, all unique challenges of the car environment,” the document says. CBP says she wants a private seller to provide a “increase in passenger pictures” and “capture 100 % of the vehicle passengers”.

Dave Mass, Director of Investigations at the Electronic Border Foundation, Receive a document From CBP, by requesting the general record, which reveals the results of the 152 -day test, the agency was conducted on the facial recognition system in the entry port from late 2021 to early 2022. I mentioned for the first time by the intersection.

Mas said that what has emerged for him is the rate of error. Cameras at the Instandoas border crossing on the borders of Mexico with two Mekalin, Texas, were taken pictures of every person in the car only 76 percent of the time, and from these people, only 81 percent achieved “health verification requirements” to match their face with identity documents.

The current repetition of the system matches a person’s image with his travel documents in what is known as the individual face recognition. Mas says that the primary danger here is that the regime has failed to realize that someone matches its own documents. This differs from one to the maximum face recognition, which the police may use to determine the suspect based on a picture of the monitoring, where the primary danger is someone who gets a wrong positive match and is determined as a lie as a suspect.

Mas says it is not clear whether CBP error rates are primarily related to cameras or matching system itself. He says: “We do not know what ethnic variations, gender variations, etc., reach these systems,” he says.

According to The Intercept in 2024, the Director of Science and Technology at the Ministry of National Security He issued a request For information last August, it is similar to that of CBP last week. However, the DHS document is currently not available.
