A black man is wrongfully arrested all because facial Recognition Technology got it wrong were going to discuss its time to move i. 19 numbers worldwide cases now topping 10100000 and 502000 reported deaths the top 3 countries with the most confirmed cases the u. West still leading the way followed by brazil with more than a 1000000 cases there and russia and right here in the u. S. Some 2500000 cases with about 125000 reported deaths now since reopening texas and florida are 2 of the states seeing massive increases in code cases with florida getting hit hard with record coated cases since reopening in june and Miami Dade County has become the epicenter of the pandemic in the Sunshine State so much so the beaches there are being closed for the 4th of. Holiday i think john honey is live in miami with the latest on the skyrocketing cases in florida and texas john just how bad is it there. Well manila you know look at a look at the numbers right now and its really dizzying because theyre constantly changing and seemingly by the hour and certainly every day as every day is bringing or for the most part record numbers here in the state of florida the Florida Department of health to bring you up to speed is confirming now as im looking at the numbers here 5405409 new cases just today and thats just literally coming in i just updated this about 10 minutes ago so these numbers are very new so 5400 new cases of coven 1000 today in the state bringing the states total 2146003 141 and look that number may be even higher at this point so were waiting for these numbers to continue refreshing but of those new cases 1508 were here in Miami Dade County where there are now more than 35000 confirmed 1000 cases now florida set a daily record with kovan cases on friday with more than 9500 that day alone and as i reported friday the demographic with the most infections according to the state remains the 24 to 35 Year Old Age Group of Florida GovernorRhonda Santas broke down the numbers lets take a listen are median age of new case began in the sixtys in march for most of the pandemic in april and may was in the low fiftys so half the cases run to 50 half the cases were over 50 now this week russell last 10 days probably its been between like 33. 36 for the median age half the cases are in their early thirtys or below and and then of the ones that are over that theres a huge bulk of them in their late thirtys and in their fortys. So its been a real significant shift in terms of whos testing whos testing positive and whos testing positive at the higher rates. And all that said to said this is coming under fire for according to his critics not doing enough sooner state wide to really slow the spread of the virus by an acting among other things more measures to do that and also allowing beaches to reopen you probably remember this back in april well now face would be escalating cases miami Fort Lauderdale and possibly even palm beach counties will be closing beaches Miami Dade CountyBroward CountyPalm Beach County will be closing beaches from friday july 3rd through the 7th meanwhile in Texas Governor greg abbott has warned that the virus has taken a quote swift and dangerous turn there issuing an executive order centrally rolling back some of the states reopening texas was also one of the states he recalled that started reopening early despite ongoing warnings that the virus was still in the 1st wave will now the daily average of coven 1000. 00 cases in the state has jumped from 2000 to more than 5000 cases daily and the spike has resulted in more restrictions on businesses particular bar particularly bars and restaurants but now bars being shut down again statewide restaurants were also ordered to go back to a 50 percent limited capacity thats down from 75 percent and with all that happening the Texas Bar Alliance is reportedly now planning to sue the state of texas over the new closures back here in miami the city has required all residents and basically anyone going out in public to wear facial coverings i havent heard of you know city or county why ticketing going on but supposedly supposedly police are. Will be warning people 1st warning 1st time get a warning 2nd when you get a ticket and then 3rd you have to appear in court but i have not heard of any widespread ticketing going on and likewise you must wear a mask in any of the malls or businesses at this point manilla a lot of people. Or that hearing to the regulations and hearing to you know to to the rules at this point as far as facial coverings but over the weekend ill tell you there were a lot of boats on biscayne bay a lot of parties going on and the sand bars off the coast were certainly packed with a lot of with a lot of people along with the restaurants manila back to john hardy thank you so much. 8 controversial study is raising privacy concerns and American Analytics Company tracked nearly 17000. 00 demonstrators in a few major u. S. Cities without their knowledge and while the study has fallen under some scrutiny the data suggests that the vast majority of black lives matter protesters were not only white but were also protesting with their own within their own cities contradicting claims made by white house officials are to use Trinity Chavez reports but 1st we want to warn you that some of the video youre about to see might be disturbing today Racial Injustice and Police Brutality protests continue to sweep the nation but now the new concerns over many of the demonstrators privacy this new data suggest that a tech company has been tracking nearly 17000. 00 of those demonstrators without their knowledge just days after the death of george floyd. Thousands took to the streets around the country marching chanting and grieving the death of the unarmed black man killed in police custody. But while many assumed anonymity in the crowd little did they know a tech Company Called mobile wallah was using the location data from their cell phones to predict their race age gender and even where they live so many black laws would be lost at the hands of police at the hands of people who have no right to be doing this to be true in this way according to a published report the data shows mobile wall used the location data from mobile phones of people who participated in the demonstrations in Atlanta Los Angeles many at. Lists and new york to produce a demographic report of the demonstrators im angry but im on the side most cops think they were picked to go to jail the data Broker Company headquartered in new york city collected the data from 16900 into mobile phones from may 29th to may 31st the breakdown includes 866 devices in atlanta 4500 in los angeles 2300 in minneapolis and more than 8000. 00 in new york city without any of the users aware of it so called day data was collected during non curfew hours and the night data during the curfew hours specifically set to each city the results out of the thousands of protesters who attended the demonstrations of the ones who were trapped most were caucasian i wanted to be a part of something bigger and just to show that i support the black community and all the black people in this not even in just this town in this country and i want to fight for justice the data also shows that most protesters in each city each day came from within an approximate 100 mile radius with atlanta having the highest percentage of protest attendees from outside the city the report also found there was more male demonstrators and also g. s but los angeles had a much higher percentage of female participants during the day versus other cities and according to the data out of the nearly 17000 demonstrators who took part in these protests 8 out of 10 of them were white and here in new york city only about 10 percent of the black lives matter protesters were from out of town contradicting president trumps claims that it was quote outside agitators who were the ones looting and violence reporting the work tradition of us are to. Be use of facial Recognition Technology has long been a point of contention for the a. C. L. U. Who is now filing a formal complaint against detroit p. D. After they arrested the wrong man wanted for robbery and shy. Uplifting after using their facial Recognition Software the man Robert Williams an africanamerican had his face wrongfully matched to the store Surveillance Footage and is the 1st known case of mistaken identity for this type of technology though williams as case is being dropped without prejudice his story speaks to the failure rate of this software so joining us to weigh in investigative journalist and cohost of boom bust ben swan. We knew this was going to happen you and i we have discussed this for years on r t and now it has happened so summarize for us what happened to mr williams and what detroit p. D. Plans on doing going forward. Yes its very interesting because just youre absolutely right you and i have talked about this for a long time and the false positives that come up through facial Recognition Technology but specifically in this case heres what happened so you had a store a retail store that was robbed and 5 watches were stolen from about 4000. 00 worth of watches so police when they did not have any witnesses they didnt have anything to go on in terms of like physical evidence but they did have Surveillance Video in the store grainy Surveillance Video and they took a look at that and then they ran that Surveillance Video through facial Recognition Software that is used to the Michigan State crime lab and essentially they got back positive match which was this man mr williams they went they arrested him he was held for 30 hours he was alternately charged with this crime and then those charges were finally dismissed but whats significant about this according to the a. C. L. U. Is that this is the 1st time that we can say there is been someone who has been arrested soley on facial Recognition Technology being used to find the suspect because in many cases you would have other things that would lead you to this person eyewitnesses other things that might indicate that the vehicle that they were in you know a license plate Something Else that would connect them in this case middle of there was nothing else and completely you know detroit p. D. Blew it now and then i mean mr williams was arrested in his driveway in front of head of wife and from all children his kids cannot unfair that band and given the spotlight on Police Brutality right now i mean this really could have taken a turn for the worse thankfully it didnt but given the 100 times failure rate on black faces at this technology have could the prolonged or continued use of this technology really increase the risk to africanamericans. Well absolutely it could look as you and i have talked about essentially the way these cameras work is that youre going to get false positives on one of 2 groups is not necessarily black people its either dark skinned or dark pigmentation for people or light the cameras have to be essentially calibrated for one of those 2 groups so if you are specifically targeting black people then you would calibrate it for black people but if you say well we dont want to we dont want to target black people so you calibrate the cameras so you dont get those false positives with that community then light skinned people and that could be people who are hispanic or light skinned africanamericans or white people any one of those groups Asian Americans as well it would then calibrate incorrectly there so essentially the technology doesnt work and in riyadh chief james craig who is the chief of the Detroit Police says that if you win by just facial recognition matches that that the company they use has a 96 percent failure rate 96 percent failure rate why are you even using the term not in the 1st place i dont know i really cant think of any im laughing but i mean this is a tragic story that really i think i cant think of any other product out there if it had a 90 thick percent failure rate i mean who would buy that product like if you bought a new black you know right and it said well you know it doesnt pick up 96 percent of the stuff on your floor but by this vacuum anyway well or you or you could also apply it to hospitals for instance if you with into a hospital in your doctor said were going to perform a surgery on you and theres a 96 percent failure rate if i use that machine with. The machine i dont want this i dont i dont want to do this now we already know i mean for example at amazon theyre saying there are halting fails and distribution of their facial Recognition Software i mean i can only imagine that other Big Tech Companies are going to follow suit especially in light of this but now a couple of high profile lawmakers senator. Ed markey and congresswoman iona presley both from massachusetts are are pushing for a federal ban on governmental use of the staff and nothing about you know private or or local but governmental youre right boston the city of boston has already killed the use of this do you foresee to be death of this sort of technology and surveillance altogether i think we could see it remember i. B. M. Was another company that recently the c. E. O. Came out and said that they were going to completely into their facial Recognition Program because he didnt like the way it was being used it said to me that right now this is all coming up because we do have this push in the in the black lives Matter Movement and so a lot of companies are doing this for p. R. Purposes and what frustrates me about that is that clearly jeff bezos and amazon did not do this when it was clear the technology didnt work but when the public wasnt paying attention to it because he had employees who were standing up and say that there were journalists like you with me say amazons technology does not work it should not be use but when public sentiment on other issues comes up now amazon just doesnt want to look bad so theyll say well maybe we will do this but its not out of the core conviction that their technology did not work its not out of the core conviction that a lot of these politicians have the who say we should ban this it comes out of a right now the momentum and Public Opinion isnt with them so theyre not for it instead of saying i was in for this from the beginning because it was wrong from the beginning it was faulty or you know who cares about imperence all of the data then Empirical Data whatever leave it.
