Alison Jane: Imagine, just imagine and imagine juries sequestered in their own purpose-built room and watching it all on live CCTV alongside the covert lie detection results.

Imagine testimony able to be taken via video conferencing with the same technology in operation testing the complete veracity of the evidence as it leaves the mouth of any witness and Lawyers not able to use the usual grandstanding and intimidation to silence witnesses, nor defendants or adversarial complainants!

Or control freak judiciary intent on imposing their personality or control on, for them? Desirable outcomes!? Not for nothing is it writ large that under current circumstances and the effect of the old boy's club, justice would seem? Reserved for those with the deepest pockets!?

And probably underlines the reason why this now dated technology hasn't been rollout across the nation's pivotal points!?

And able to replay any segment to enable a finalised opinion/finding and the carriage of absolute justice. Too many crims/drug lords, pushers, walking our streets and free to re-offend, given our flawed justice system which releases evildoers and incarcerates the innocent/denies justice to victims too often, etc/etc!

One being one too many!

But especially as pertaining to family law custody contests, domestic violence/sexual abuse, and badgered, intimidated witnesses etc/etc!
Cheers, Alan B.

Mhaze: Suggest in future you talk from a little higher up and stick with subject matter you actually know something about!

For your information and edification, new space age lie detection is unbeatable for the following reasons and beyond human control or drug-assisted avoidance.

Firstly CAFR. This technology sees the microsecond giveaway facial expressions beyond human control and too fast for the human eye.

And a deadset giveaway! especially useful as border control and contraband control!

Thermal imagining lights up portions of the brain and seen as thermal imagines even in pitch black conditions also available in night sight technology and in survivor searches after dark. But back to the brain and thermal imaging, portions of the brain light up whenever deception is even considered and completely autonomously regardless of control or suppression control or suppressed giveaways with this or that Drug/thought control!

What makes it unbeatable by even the most accomplished gifted lairs is when these two technologies are used simultaneously in combination!

And given that is so and undisputably so! Frightens the BJ's out of many pollies!? And the likely reason it isn't already universally deployed!?

I assume you refer to push bike riders.

The problem here is ego. Usually it's one car equals one ego. That situation is usually safely under control by the use of road rules, and in some rare moments, courtesy and consideration. ( but not always).

Sadly, with the Lycra set, its generally a team sport. A team sport fixes multiple egos against one challenge, in their case, the motorist.
That is a dangerous situation involving the clashing of egos with the motorist feeling victimised, which he is; aided and abetted by silly unworkable rules designed to safeguard idiots from themselves, for example, the one meter rule.

There was never a time when pushbike riders were safe on the roads. And bunches of egos looking for a fight during peak hour traffic, is bound for a very bad outcomes, and does.
No surprises there!

Alan B, I would prefer a jury assisted by AI, than one whose minds are twisted by dubious defence lawyers. Also, We all can detect when pollies are lying too us, due to their inherent self belief in the words they spue out of the smiling mouths... and the fact they always seem to be lying! So Ai would have them within milliseconds.

DD, if cycling was a workspace, it would be banned and anyone suggesting it as a new pastime, would be held up for inciting violence! An face ( or arse) recognition camera, could earn State Revenue a fortune, as most cyclists break the road rules every minute they enter our roads. And as they refuse to have numberplate's, road registration fees, licences, mirrors, treaded tires... AND have no third party insurance, FC (or AR) would finally have them pay their way on the roads, just like the rest of us have to do.

Hot of the ABC news online.

"The inquiry gained attention in late 2019 when the Department of Home Affairs suggested a proposed facial recognition tool could be used to verify age for porn viewers."

Seems FR is on the move more than we have been told!

will this be used against all citizens, or just selected groups?

Its a Brave New World

Hey Alison Jane,
I'm not keen on cyclists on the road.
Where I used to live they would come past at 5am on a Sunday morning yelling at each other without any concern for any of the people they were disrupting, and that would continue unabated for several hours.
If I had've been a vindictive person I might have laid out a few rows of gang-nails in order to screw up their Sunday morning in the same way they messed with mine every week.
- But fortunately for me, I have ethics and I understand that 2 wrongs don't make a right.

So, I don't care for cyclists on the road, but I will say one thing.
I'm not sure it's fair they don't pay for rego.

I'd assume many of the people riding past were professional business type people, doctors, lawyers etc.
These are the people that want to take part in the Tour de France and practice on our roads for it.
I'm fairly sure most of these people actually do have cars and do pay rego, and obviously that can't drive their car on the road when they're riding their bikes.

Maybe there should be some road use fee for cyclists, but that just gives them more of a free pass to ride around screaming on Sunday mornings.
