Let your face get scanned and settle it in court. Best case scenario anything that is found is thrown out.

Or try to fight it on the street with the officer, get hit with a bunch of charges, and then you and your property get damaged and you end up settling it in court.

The article recommends saying “I don’t consent to having my face scanned.” Then let the officer do whatever they want. Basically, just resist verbally, not physically. Then fight it in court.

This has never been litigated but the act of verbally resisting might give you some legal grounds for recourse.

If they dismiss the case how are you going to get your face scan deleted from the 12 different databases they put it in?

[awb]

As a driver presumably your face is already in those databases as seen on your driver’s license.

Yes, but you may not want to give the AI additional training material for it to better identify you (if it were used on a crowd of people for example).

[inter_netuser]

you don't have any pictures in the cloud at all?

[bonestamp2]

Sure, I do. Almost everyone in my generation does. But, this is not about us, we can't go back... it's about future generations who will be aware of the concerns about AI before they put their images on the internet. They should be able to choose if they want that. This is a powerful and potentially dangerous thing that needs to be carefully considered.

Sometimes the worse outcome for oneself is necessary to demonstrate one's principles, and, when combined with others doing the same, effect a better long-term outcome for everybody in that society.

Edit: Weighing the short-term, personal best outcome against the long-term, public best outcome with any kind of objectivity is usually impossible, due to the highly unpredictable nature of the latter.

get hit with a bunch of charges,

And perhaps in the face. Or with worse outcomes I don't need to go into detail about.

[xwdv]

This will make it less likely for them to bust up your face as they will need to use it for scans.

[vanusa]

Like these officers think rationally, or even in terms of practical benefit.
