This news is a clear example of the technology implemented at the service of the police and is that in China, they tested facial recognition glasses a little over a month ago and now they are expanding them to other police stations outside of Beijing.

The tool it is really interesting for the identification of people that carry false documentation or false registration plates, among other false information. The system is very simple and with these sunglasses you can check all these data for identification at the moment. The truth is that they have a "black list" in the Chinese government with people who do not have permission to enter the country, although it is true that we would remove some people from the list such as journalists, human rights activists and the like. of the gadget is paying off.
Censorship in the country is obvious and we are not discovering anything new, so with these glasses the government could ensure that it has even more control over what happens on the country's streets, airports and strategic areas. The train stations in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province, were the first to deploy police officers with these glasses, now they will be deployed in more places and technology it will serve to be more efficient in identifying people.
Reuters, explains that all this is part of a law that was approved in Parliament to extend the presidency of Xi Jinping, and now it seems that it is working very well for them and they will continue to extend the use of glasses with facial identification in the rest of the country . The information reaches the agent wearing the glasses immediately and can proceed to arrest anyone in a much faster and more effective way. Each of those glasses are priced close to $ 640.
