" When we ever thought about this you could actually being a police lineup right now and you wouldn't even know it the FBI is tracking down fugitives using. Face recognition technology and the source of the faces. Photos taken at the Department of Motor Vehicles for your driver's license. Agents taking a booking photo of a convict they scanned millions of drivers license photos they try to match the two up. In North Carolina where this program is in place they've already helped fitness programs -- to help to catch a couple of different people including this fugitive named her duffel Kuralt less. He was wanted for two murderers turns out he had a new name and a new life this program help to track him down. Critics have been asking is this an invasion of privacy that everybody gets a driver's license could end up taking part in this virtual line up. With us -- trial attorney Janet NEC specializes in privacy issues and defense attorney Jennifer Snyder also had handel's. Cases involving -- privacy could deceive those Jennifer -- to you. Is the FBI allowed to Davis."

" Yes the FBI is allowed to do it so long as they look at the database at the Department of Motor Vehicles in North Carolina. So it's be done and being done by trust of -- professionals. In a secure environments. And believe it or not we're exposed to this every day we go to with this storm we go to the ATM. If you -- it was Super Bowl game if you go to casino facial. The reckoning is -- recognition programs are all around us and they're only gonna be improved and used more and more as time goes on."

" Candidates may seem like the simplest. I actually thought what -- final look like a fugitive that's exactly the point did you really wanna be defending against a crying. That the only thing that has yet the connection is your facial recognition from AD MV photo that you Wednesday that because you wanted the privilege of driving. The privilege of driving should be excuse to have basically you a lineup. Mean I really this is he just because we find ourselves in a world where there is. You like diminished sense of privacy doesn't mean that it's legally constitutionally exodus sets our whole since the constitutional. You know issues honestly yeah I don't."

" We have a big minutes when everything Gordon and named Jennifer go ahead. -- I I I disagree with that what we're dealing with here is. The community. Requires that justice prevail if there is a fugitive out in the community the citizens of North Carolina would normally. Get together and help if they could. It's not like it's like searching for somebody you know Moffett field and that citizens aren't asking now -- know that this isn't and that is -- Colin Harding now yeah. Can't be easy yeah and I like to the government for not asking for anything but often photographed still looks good -- little easier not to be you know his and a long line up. A driver's license is now. -- Actually even -- law enforcement officials why hasn't that information and they -- What law enforcement from. So what the law enforcement is doing as they are accessing all information Dick Cheney's old -- panels -- cleaning and doing well. I'm really not they're looking for the right person can't look not a not a crime -- and the rest of us yes they are stopped what they hate you walk into a casino in your being looked at as if you are defending her right that's not true. Seconds into not to look community you know not hiking -- not done on the media I don't need not accept that threatens that community will not accept that fugitives are out running the streets when the FBI could have very easily look at a database and caught them the --"

" They Morales -- four day -- are ordinary citizens are on the other side defending these allegations. And we no longer have a world where you're innocent until proven guilty. Because of the other side of every single good wish are we protecting criminals he's putting innocent people in the undecided defending. There -- incidents. Driving into triple I."

" You present it. -- I didn't fugitive I'll get my photo to help Katz said okay and Jennifer we're gonna have to leave it there obviously able to catch -- the FBI has been working on this is really a pilot program in North Carolina that potentially could spread nation spread nationwide. Planes players asked can be answered thanks Steve thank you."
