Female passengers complained of sexual misconduct by taxi man

I'd say he's good at that all by hisself!!

Simple solution to a lot of problems .On board CCTv linked to a data base with facialrecognition .That way everything is recorder including who is driving the car .Change the meter to one that requires you insert your ID card into it for it to work .Heeps drivers and passengers safe and reduces the amount of illegal operators .Also gives the Garda a few thousand mobile camera units that can be programmed to identify wanted persons through facial ID in cabs ..I think this was the idea the last time they proposed mandatory on board cameras now with ALL the attacks by drivers and passengers on drivers dont be surprised to see mandatory cameras being proposed again with Metaxioffering subsidies to drivers who fit them .

If I worked for MyTaxi myself, I couldn't have asked for a better endorsement, even with a former MI5 man in charge of ops in the Phoeno.

What you reckon that set up would cost John ?

[john m]

Last time they were talking about a a grand plus a yearly fee for data storage .Just because we rejected it dosent mean that the firmbehind has given up .Is this TD from Cork as that is where the Firm were located .The TD who wants rural rideshare might be playing us hopine we get annoyed complain about passenger safety and then he drops the in board camera on us and says it should be fitted to all vehicles who carry passengers for reward .That way he is on a win/win if he gets rural rideshare he is a winner if he gets on board cameras a few locals get jobs win/win.

It's not a simple solution.  You'd need to connect 25,000 PSV vehicles over the internet/radio waves to a central location where 1,000's of Gardai would have to monitor the data feeds in real time.  Afterall, there's no point is pinpointing a bad guy in a taxi if you can't catch him within 10 mins.  Otherwise, the taxi journey would be over and he'd be gone!

Who's gonna pay for all this?



And facial recognition tech doesn't work that well either.  The UK police are trying it (illegally) and it doesn't work too good.

UK Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham has launched a formal investigation into the legality and effectiveness of facial recognition technology used by police in Britain, The Daily Telegraph reports.

Denham warned the government’s Home Office and the National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC) earlier this year in a blog post that if her concerns about the technology’s intrusive use were not addressed, she would consider legal action. Police are piloting the technology in London, Humberside, South Wales, and Leicestershire.

And the cost of the 1,000 Gardai to watch TV 24/7?

[dalymount]

If you were a real suspicious person ,you could be forgiven for thinking he is even a share holder,or owner of the conpany who would supply such camera's

[stonethecrows]

Probably be cheaper to give us all a gun  )

They use a logoritm .I posted before lad on our road does security in Liffey valley they have facial recognition .If you are caught shoplifting they take your picture and add it to a data base so do other shopping centers .When a known lifter enters the center their photo is broadcast to security staff from shops who pay for the service .The Gards wouldnt need to be watching anything .Your facial map has been grabbed by the state when you got your driving licence socialservices card or passport .The success rate might be low now but in time it will be as effective as fingerprints or DNA .

John I wont hide behind any liberal shite.I say out strsight I do not want to live in a multi cultural society,and I dont give a bollox who is vexed,or pleased,least of all the ICI

But it’s ok for your son to live in a foreign country?

So how would it work for taxis?
Say you're driving Big Dommo from the Stone Boat to the Marble Arch.  He has a few warrants outstanding for pissing up laneways.  It's a 10-15min taxi ride. 

The algorithm identifies him and then what?  It (and the taxi driver) doesn't know where the taxi is going (Dommo pays cash & is cagey about telling people his business).

That's not facial recognition John....that's taking a photo and sharing it.
