The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Next Generation Identification System, a biometric database reliant on tens of millions of facial-recognition records, is now fully operational, the agency announced Monday. The NGI system, after three years of development, is billed by the FBI as a new breakthrough for criminal identification and data-sharing between law enforcement agencies.
“This effort is a significant step forward for the criminal justice community in utilizing biometrics as an investigative enabler,” the FBI said in a statement. A comment that sums it up “So much effort into crime Fighting but the Crime still remains more Rife than ever. I feel sorry for those Americans who believe all this is for the effort in creating a Nice Safer Homeland.”
