@Ganado
If you're marked as an enemy (e.g. for political reasons, but not limited to that), then the police could frame you. I'm sure the police have framed people in the past. |
And I'd bet its not only limited to the police - organisation can use other third party security based agencies to do it as well - in those case the police only end up doing their jobs by following the evidence trail.
@Ganado
many countries will probably drift closer to some dystopia that's a combination of 1984 and Brave New World. |
you lost me with the 1984 part - what happened in that year that is relevant to the OP.
@helios;
You can't use fingerprints to frame someone of a crime they wouldn't be a suspect of to begin with. |
At first when reading this I raised an eyebrow due to not understanding what would make someone a suspect in the first place however, after reading your remaining response ie:
So, if I were to copy Ganado's fingerprints, I couldn't use them to frame him of robbing a jewelry store (assuming he doesn't work in one). I could only use them to framed him of something he could reasonably be a suspect of, like robbing his workplace or murdering a friend of his. |
then I would have to say we are in agreement here, although as you so succinctly put it, Genado could be frame for murdering someone he knows which could prove quite crap for his life if he was falsely convicted and given 17 to life in prison. I mean if I was him I'd be pissed at you for doing this to me.
Worst yet than this hypothetical situation theorized between yourself and Ganado is that in reality Genado will be confronted with an organisation (his work or some group) that is most likely linked (or have some dealings) with other organisations/groups which would imply that the "sphere" in which he (Ganado) can be hurt/affected increases (and it will be exponential).
If you take a thousand people there will several sets of people whose prints are indistinguishable even to humans, let alone software. |
this actually struct a chord with me of a time when I worked for a company that used fingerprinting as a bio metric for access control. Initially the systems gave much errors and needed the expert to come in and tweak it. I suppose it was as you point out, the number of people in the org 4000+ had sets of individuals whose fingerprints were very similar, hence the tweaking of the system to find some other related differentiating factors...
