NYPD Facial Recog Unit Uses Facebook And Instagram To Track Down Suspects
http://j.mp/XCVDrd (DNAinfo.com)
"Police are searching for suspects' photos on Instagram and Facebook,
then running them through the NYPD's new Facial Recognition Unit to
put a face to a name, DNAinfo New York has learned. Detectives are
now breaking cases across the city thanks to the futuristic technology
that marries mug shots of known criminals with pictures gleaned from
social media, surveillance cameras and anywhere else cops can find
images."
