Forget About Dropping a Dime Anonymously

Companies and governments are jumping on board harvesting voiceprints from telephone calls.

So say that you see some evil shit happening and you want to alert the cops. But you don't want to get involved, because you'd rather not get killed by a MS-13 gun thug or a Mafia assassin. Or maybe you'd just rather not be outed to your neighbors as a snitch, because you live in a neighborhood where the cops are regarded as just another street gang. Or maybe you'd not care to be called as a witness in a divorce case, after you called Child Protective Services or the cops on the family down the road.

Well, forget about it. Even if they don't know who you are, now, they eventually will.

Feeling safer, yet?

  1. I wonder if there's a historical precedent for boycotting the police.

  2. And, oh miracle, after they get a critical mass of voiceprints, who's to challenge them that "It's not my voice in that recording". Behind the scenes, the leos will say, "We need a conviction and we have 80% confidence so let's bag the turkey"
