This is an effective way to help the criminal investigators in crime arrests or crime scams. But not everyone plays like the FBI with a $ 1 billion system.

The new system is named the Next Generation Identification (NGI) and is the nation's largest information storage facility for imaging, imaging, DNA, voice samples. and other biometric factors, according to Extreme Tech.

The ultimate goal of the NGI is not, of course, the detection and capture of criminals. But there are also some concerns about how public agencies use biometric data for the new system.

Facial recognition systems have been booming over the years, and the NGI can specifically find objects in its 1.6 million photographic collections and passport photos with precision. to 92% within 1.2 seconds.

In the future, the NGI will be expanded to include every passport and license photograph of every American citizen.
