Major change to NSW drivers licences to crack down on identity fraud
www.abc.net.au
NSW drivers licence photos could be shared to a national database under a proposed government scheme to prevent identity fraud.

In short:

NSW drivers licence photos could be shared to a national facial recognition database under new laws being proposed in the state.

The move is part of a bill introduced to state parliament on Thursday to crack down on identity fraud and organised crime networks.

Police access to unredacted photos from public toll roads could be granted as part of the new laws.

    I’m sure Palantir will get their grubby little hands on the database and it will be super safe and definitely not abused by an AI-powered surveillance state.

      Im sure the data definitely won’t end up in bulk on the dark web being sold to the highest foreign governments, because consolidating data always ends up with it being really really much safer for everyone as a whole.

    Well every bank or finacial institution, or even every fucking club you walk into scans them, so why wouldn’t they have them already?
