A bike tax is an old tax in some parts of the world.
In German but the pictures and dates should give some idea to what a bicycle tax looks like https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
What happens when it's back doors all the way down?
The UK followed the US down the wide open, unencrypted, plain text, network facing server path thanks to "contractors", public private partnerships, total out sourcing and supporting the private sector.
Every plain text, open server facing the internet issue that was big news in the USA years ago is now been repeated in the UK.
Is that coincidence? Incompetence? A total lack of computer crypto design understanding in the UK mil and gov?
Or policy?
The private sector cannot be expected to carry the costs of real encryption on every server and document so they requested plain text and total to access gov/mil networks. That extra crypto compliance cost would hurt profits.
Plain text and no encryption is a level playing field that allows any contractor to bid with confidence for government/mil work.
Who wants to pay for a gov or mil approved super computer in their office that needs support calls every hour for a new crypto key?
Thats a waste of their profits. Extra staff wages for security cleared staff on site in the UK just to look after layers of gov crypto every hour?
A lot of the contractors are multi nationals. That secure office in the UK is a few lawyers and two people with the needed gov/mil contacts and security clearances. All the real work is then done in the cheapest nations on earth in plain text. The result is networked back to the UK, signed over by the legal contractor as a front company and given back to the UK gov. Just in time thanks to a total lack of any gov mandated encryption slowing down profitable global networks.
The end result might be navy ship "parts" from South Korea or parts from China. Better profits to have a ship in port been worked on by contractors ordering new parts on plain text parts lists again than a ship with working parts still at sea. Everyone is winning with new orders for more spare parts and contractor overtime.
Parts arrive and are gathered together to make up the plain text parts list in the UK and sent to the port just in time. Cryptography would slow all that down and might even expose the true origins and costs of the "parts" due to ongoing internal security reviews. Plain text and no crypto is much better in so many ways just like in the USA. Cleaning up after hackers is just a gov cost that can be passed back to tax payers as private sector contractor overtime. Still winning even when systems need a big clean up. Working crypto is not good for billable hours trying to understand what happened to a wide open server that faced the internet.
The same way the NSA and GCHQ do it. A race track with consumer data going the long way around getting altered by faster gov/security services.
FoxAcid, Turmoil, Quantum, QuantumInsert. Man-on-the-side, man-in-the-middle outpace any consumer network. Why just collect information on the way when the results can be changed too?
Just as the NSA and GCHQ know all about peering, every server and service provider and the fast speed of their own tame telcos, so does China.
The only way around that would be a good VPN. But VPN use would be detected given the network origin in China and discovered encrypted response of a destination VPN server outside China.
In computer terms?
A card is made that allows a low cost consumer computer to work advanced business grade applications.
Design, tooling, testing, coding, packing, sales, postage all has a steep cost at first.
Magazine interviews and trade conventions gets the word out that the product exists, works and fully supports the decades must have business applications.
That a person with a low cost computer with that card can do complex work at home.
Out of that short term design cash flow long term sales profits result.
Take the profits and invest in the next big things like an OS or business applications because next years hardware is now fast enough.
Every year and decade has its must have hardware or software but movies and series hold some value for a few years. Domestic and international sales on your own network. Blu ray sales later. The first season builds to season two.
Re "Why do you need to identify someones face on the spot by a computer? "
They have no images that are on any database in that city or state or federally? Why is a person working so hard to not be in any database?
Now a police digital image exists in that city or state due to walking down a street.
A face over a different set of names in other states or federally that are now finally linked but have not been matched until now due to privacy or sanctuary city politics.
The face is wanted due to issues on social media or the web but has not been searched in that city or state due to privacy.
It depends on who is helping with the backed database? Federal database? Decades of custody images? Some old state identification card thats now finally networked due to federal funds and upgrades? Anything the federal gov has got access to from the private sector and public private partnerships or new funding? Ever applied for a job that needed a photo?
So the federal gov might not have their own huge database but it can search over a lot of databases when asked. The "request searches" vs only ever keeping custody images color of law issue.
A federal gov only keeps custody images but can access on request by state and city police and look over millions of images not of criminals.
"The perpetual lineup: Half of US adults in a face-recognition database" (10/19/2016) https://arstechnica.com/tech-p...

A citizen journalist creating a lot of first amendment test video clips and uploading is wondering around outside a court house, jail or police station. On file in a few other states and cities due to years of social media use?
Get creative with social security numbers and a face? Is the number even real? A totally created number is been used with a set of created and applied for documents? Why does that face span a few different document sets around the USA that got used to build up a set of new documents built on a sub set of sold, created or fake documents. All kinds of fiction can be entered as text and numbers but a face might still link past document in different states creativity.
Getting harder to hide that attempt at paper citizenship over a few decades.

Re "Anyone in government listening to history?"
The tools of trade i.e. the server is been used as a Star Chamber to extract information?
With no courts or warrants?
Thats totally legal in the US system. Once the information is collected and the person arrested they will be informed of what crime they have committed.
A lawyer will be able to read any logs or documents before the trial. Any hired expert will given full access to information collected during the later legal search.
The gag just protects methods that allowed for that first actual search warrant.
How would parallel construction get results if a court was needed to even start an investigation?
It more like protection during a fishing expedition or the hunch phase of a legal investigation.
Everything has to be protected until a friendly court can retroactively rubber stamp an investigation later on.
How is the need for an investigation going to be proved? Well what was gathered under the gag order will show any court that further investigation was needed and the gag order was correct.
If people get a legal document from a court they might secure funds to gets real lawyer, remove evidence, escape or change habits.
With a gag everything can be looked at with out alerting interesting people and then presented to a court.
Once all evidence is gathered and safe then the formalities of a court can be engaged.
Too many people in the telco systems, courts, human rights groups, legal system, private sector, gov, mil, banks, media or local police might be in a cult, sympathetic to or share the same faith. Once altered supporters start to find lawyers and hire outside experts, want to see actual evidence, then go to the press and talk about investigative methods.
A gag stops news about an investigation spreading beyond a limited number of experts needed to extract information and secure systems or documents.

But to exclude certain actors is to make it easier to find out who our sources are,"" http://edition.cnn.com/2016/07... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new... (15 December 2016)
"they were handed over to him at a D.C. park by an intermediary for 'disgusted' Democratic whistleblowers"
AC its more like the Pentagon Papers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... all over again. US domestic politics.
Rather than have one group that has to be the sword and the shield both trying to keep codes safe and break encryption.
Think of it as a new cyber CIA that can support freedom fighters all over the globe.
Free of any 1970's FISA oversight and budget questions.
It works until the cash runs out.
Germany attempted things like that in the 1920-early 1930's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Consider an average person from school to the old age pension in 2017.
Got so school and maybe the parents get a support payment from the gov.
When school is done a person has options? Mil, university study, scholarship, can pay or gets a loan for more education, vocational training, gov work, joins the private sector, looks for work, create some work or has to be looked after.
Stay at home? Rent? Move to anther city to study or find work? A government might help its citizens with such costs while they study or find work.
Each of the above options can be given no or some or full gov support. On average the gov is not paying everyone all the time and should be getting some tax payments in from the private sector workers. Or as students join the work force or create their own new private sector jobs and pay their taxes.
As the person who did vocational training joins the work force or stars they own company later and takes on new workers.
Some people may never get jobs and need more support for rent, housing, finding work.
Farms that have a lot of wealth in buildings and machinery but are very cash poor for years might need extra support for a few years depending on conditions.
Not having a UBI gives a government flexibility to ramp up unexpected payments in any area that needs support one decade or for a year.
People who are not totally poor but are not in the lower working class and are stuck paying tax and get getting any support?
That can be understood and some help provided in the tax system for the working poor or with more direct payments.
Lots of older people are stuck between the old age pension and trying to find work due to imports and they jobs going to other nations? They can be looked after, helped to find new skills or just supported. Finally people get their old age pension.
The only funding trick is to keep the above system for your citizens only and to collect tax. No illegal migrants get any payments, no accepting decades of unskilled refugees, no hiding all profits in some other nation.
No health payments to generations of guest workers, illegal migrants. No tax refunds for illegal migrants.
Over a generation every illegal migrant is asked to return to their own nation.
The problem is that all has to be means tested, tracked by a gov and citizenship proven at every stage of life. That soon discovers big trusted brands not paying and tax and using low wage illegal workers.
Wealthy people want a UBI so their illegal migrants, poor workers, guest workers or working poor get covered with feee new gov cash without any new questions or investigations.
No wage pressure to pay more as the gov is giving "everyone" in a nation free money. Less union power and no new tax questions about the legal status of workers.
Just pay the UBI and keep the really low wages. So expect to see a lot of very different groups been very well funded to push for a no questions asked UBI policy.
Re "What is wrong with the major majority English speaking nations ? "
Its just UK and Commonwealth laws going back to WW1.
Defence of the Realm Act 1914 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Then ENIGMA, collection of all calls to and from Ireland in the 1960-1990's
All part of winning. The police or mil gets the message, all the content, context, both sides to the conversation and can then act in secret.
Different aspects of Commonwealth law and UK law got considered over decades and collection was legal.
The internet was something different for a few years given 100 years of collection.
What to do about the internet? Record a modem in use and play the session back in open court?
Network encryption is now more common.
A US style sneak and peek search warrant with gov hardware into every interesting computer? Risk gov malware been detected by some advanced AV, very well written OS or outgoing software firewall or undercover police been detected on site? Find the gov staging server?
Just go for the device when sold. Make the products wiretap friendly or they don't get sold. Every device is gov ready.
No risk of one device been any different from any other and a smart person finding the gov alteration to that one device and sharing a guide on how to find gov malware/collection settings.
Any service now activated will be gov malware ready. No sale, support or connection if the device or service is nor ready to collect on its user as and when sold.
What will interesting people do? They will meet at their places of worship and talk face to face.
Go on holiday to their own nations and return with plans discussed face to face. No photographs, no gps in a file, no voice calls, no IM.
They don't have to worry about privacy or anonymity online or per device. They don't need online. A round trip takes a week to get a face to face reply, thats fine.
Every device sold is now stuck with junk encryption, gov malware to access every message a user can read or typed in.
All ex staff, former staff, gov and mil officials walk to the private sector with that key? Or look up their friends? Or go fishing for a word or term over nation wide databases?
Sell information to the media? Or criminals for a price? Or to protect their faith or cult?
Once a nation has junk encryption per device everyone with access can go looking for any reason they can select from a GUI.
Cults and faith groups, criminals, police and the media will all make offers for access. Or just get their very interesting people jobs as contractors to do city and national counter surveillance on a govs own systems
Track any task force members in real time thanks to their own smart phones been on. Any cult member, faith, criminally connected person in gov would be happy to look up a few 100 devices and start counter tracking police/mil/gov workers. Too many totally untrusted people will have the gov crypto keys and will sell or offer their services to anyone for many different reasons.
Did the gov even think to consider a new SISMI-Telecom scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
In the most simple terms, political leaders see the telco system as a new Enigma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and they want it all collected on in real time and get an easy win just like past generations.
The really stupid part is telling the world you have that ability and will use it in open court.
Keep that gov malware secret for 3 decades and then tell the world would have been a better idea.
Interesting people change back to face to face meetings. Really interesting people start to buy into the gov own crypto systems.
Privacy and anonymity are gone on any domestic network.
Want it back? Pay for a quality VPN at the desktop router level every year.
All the government ISP collection then knows is that person moved data around 24/7 to a VPN.
No network anonymity but privacy is recovered and no browser, app, software, malware should be able to get a real isp ip past the ethernet connected VPN router...
The gov granted code to have their products connect in that nation are not network activated. Their software or hardware is then just reduced to desktop or wifi sales.
1. Presumption of Innocence. Why is an interesting person at an airport doing something or waiting for someone? Domestic areas might have interesting international people too, so just watch everyone.. Renting a car? Been collected by family or an unknown friend in the USA
CCTV and other more hidden methods get all that on file. They have a smart phone on at any time?
2. Rights of Access and Usage. Airports often got different legal protections for international travel. Also consider the history of legal changes around domestic movement.
Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response team https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Just getting near the airport can be legal fun too.
3 and 4. Accuracy Given the Interstate Photo System (IPS), Next Generation Identification (NGI) and all the international and domestic private sector database access? The systems are almost instant given the funding and the databases cover all US international and domestic content going back decades.
5. What is the Risk/Threat? Late with tax payments or trying to escape tax issues? Change a name? Have forged or shared documents? Buy documents with a photo on details that got resold federally a few times? Make up a social security number so it not using another persons but its not a legal number? Perfect fake papers could be used in some city or state years ago but would never be safe USA wide at that price years...
Enter the USA illegally decades ago and buy or create up a set of almost legal papers over the years? Do crimes on any state, city or federally? Thats an interesting image to consider years later as a person wonders around an airport. What crimes are they doing now? Apply for a job that needed photo ID?
Lots of ways to create databases and everyone is willing to share with state wide and federally.
6. What is the Cost? Private sector overtime rates to installing the systems, teaching new staff skills on how to use the systems. Long term support to keep the systems running. Upgrading as technology changes. 24/7 call out costs. Adding more public, private, social media, domestic and international database access.
Thats hours of very expensive security work over decades all over the USA.
A few measurements per face from a face on 2d picture? The ability to build up some measurements from an image more side on, looking up or down?
That created list of numbers can be compared to every police booking photograph and private sector photograph the US gov collected or has access to in seconds.
Facial Recognition Software Moves From Overseas Wars to Local Police (Aug. 12, 2015) https://www.nytimes.com/2015/0...
"rate of more than one million faces a second." is now for state or city use in 2015
So with more funding and been able to buy any product or service on the open market? Looking at an images vs millions on file from all over the world and USA would not slow any modern system down.
Considering the growth of the Interstate Photo System (IPS), Next Generation Identification (NGI) and anything that be found by contractors or other nations?
Holiday in another nation and lot of different very security services and other nations police might share images with the USA for free.
Also consider all the sharing go interesting people from public private partnerships of interesting people all over the USA.
Get seen with a camera in some small town near their courthouse, jail, banks, police buildings, contractors buildings? Police, CCTV or private security will pass that image of a face to all databases they have access to.
With that person a criminal? Tourist looking at the old courthouse? Could have been a first amendment audit?
So the amount of images from all over the USA or anyone that went on an international holiday covers millions of images updated every week.
Private sector, partnerships, private security, social media finds, past job applications, work ID.

re noncitizens voting illegally in U.S. elections.
The problem is gov malware will be waiting on any smartphone will all the deep access of the OS/hardware maker.
Its like really bad Tempest collection at both ends past any decryption and encryption app OS level.
The OS/hardware has to become the gov malware if it wants to sell in that nation. No app can escape that if it displays plain text.
The chance is the same device was used to create the message, send the message, be networked with the other person and be to decrypt the response.
People trust the app creator and the legal/freedom branding of their US OS. Governments just have to stay deeper in both smartphones.
To get back to cryptography that can be secure the message would have to be created by hand or on an air gapped device. Then photographed as a code ready message.
Move the code photo file to another computer at the other end, OCR and decode.
But the two people still got noticed sending messages on the network.
Anonymity and privacy are both been weakened on the network and in the smartphone.
Per device low level access will get past any user app layer thats doing the encryption or decryption.
If its plain text at any time on the device, thats what gov/mil malware will keep.

A US style sneak and peek search warrant with gov hardware into every interesting computer? Risk gov malware been detected by some advanced AV, very well written OS or outgoing software firewall or undercover police been detected on site? Find the gov staging server?
Just go for the device when sold. Make the products wiretap friendly or they don't get sold. Every device is gov ready.
No risk of one device been any different from any other and a smart person finding the gov alteration to that one device and sharing a guide on how to find gov malware/collection settings.
Any service now activated will be gov malware ready. No sale, support or connection if the device or service is nor ready to collect on its user as and when sold.
What will interesting people do? They will meet at their places of worship and talk face to face.
Go on holiday to their own nations and return with plans discussed face to face. No photographs, no gps in a file, no voice calls, no IM.
They don't have to worry about privacy or anonymity online or per device. They don't need online. A round trip takes a week to get a face to face reply, thats fine.
Every device sold is now stuck with junk encryption, gov malware to access every message a user can read or typed in.
All ex staff, former staff, gov and mil officials walk to the private sector with that key? Or look up their friends? Or go fishing for a word or term over nation wide databases?
Sell information to the media? Or criminals for a price? Or to protect their faith or cult?
Once a nation has junk encryption per device everyone with access can go looking for any reason they can select from a GUI.
Cults and faith groups, criminals, police and the media will all make offers for access. Or just get their very interesting people jobs as contractors to do city and national counter surveillance on a govs own systems
Track any task force members in real time thanks to their own smart phones been on. Any cult member, faith, criminally connected person in gov would be happy to look up a few 100 devices and start counter tracking police/mil/gov workers. Too many totally untrusted people will have the gov crypto keys and will sell or offer their services to anyone for many different reasons.
Did the gov even think to consider a new SISMI-Telecom scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
In the most simple terms, political leaders see the telco system as a new Enigma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and they want it all collected on in real time and get an easy win just like past generations.
The really stupid part is telling the world you have that ability and will use it in open court.
Keep that gov malware secret for 3 decades and then tell the world would have been a better idea.
Interesting people change back to face to face meetings. Really interesting people start to buy into the gov own crypto systems.
Privacy and anonymity are gone on any domestic network.
Want it back? Pay for a quality VPN at the desktop router level every year.
All the government ISP collection then knows is that person moved data around 24/7 to a VPN.
No network anonymity but privacy is recovered and no browser, app, software, malware should be able to get a real isp ip past the ethernet connected VPN router...
The gov granted code to have their products connect in that nation are not network activated. Their software or hardware is then just reduced to desktop or wifi sales.
1. Presumption of Innocence. Why is an interesting person at an airport doing something or waiting for someone? Domestic areas might have interesting international people too, so just watch everyone.. Renting a car? Been collected by family or an unknown friend in the USA
CCTV and other more hidden methods get all that on file. They have a smart phone on at any time?
2. Rights of Access and Usage. Airports often got different legal protections for international travel. Also consider the history of legal changes around domestic movement.
Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response team https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Just getting near the airport can be legal fun too.
3 and 4. Accuracy Given the Interstate Photo System (IPS), Next Generation Identification (NGI) and all the international and domestic private sector database access? The systems are almost instant given the funding and the databases cover all US international and domestic content going back decades.
5. What is the Risk/Threat? Late with tax payments or trying to escape tax issues? Change a name? Have forged or shared documents? Buy documents with a photo on details that got resold federally a few times? Make up a social security number so it not using another persons but its not a legal number? Perfect fake papers could be used in some city or state years ago but would never be safe USA wide at that price years...
Enter the USA illegally decades ago and buy or create up a set of almost legal papers over the years? Do crimes on any state, city or federally? Thats an interesting image to consider years later as a person wonders around an airport. What crimes are they doing now? Apply for a job that needed photo ID?
Lots of ways to create databases and everyone is willing to share with state wide and federally.
6. What is the Cost? Private sector overtime rates to installing the systems, teaching new staff skills on how to use the systems. Long term support to keep the systems running. Upgrading as technology changes. 24/7 call out costs. Adding more public, private, social media, domestic and international database access.
Thats hours of very expensive security work over decades all over the USA.
A few measurements per face from a face on 2d picture? The ability to build up some measurements from an image more side on, looking up or down?
That created list of numbers can be compared to every police booking photograph and private sector photograph the US gov collected or has access to in seconds.
Facial Recognition Software Moves From Overseas Wars to Local Police (Aug. 12, 2015)
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/0... "rate of more than one million faces a second." is now for state or city use in 2015
So with more funding and been able to buy any product or service on the open market? Looking at an images vs millions on file from all over the world and USA would not slow any modern system down.
Considering the growth of the Interstate Photo System (IPS), Next Generation Identification (NGI) and anything that be found by contractors or other nations?
Holiday in another nation and lot of different very security services and other nations police might share images with the USA for free.
Also consider all the sharing go interesting people from public private partnerships of interesting people all over the USA.
Get seen with a camera in some small town near their courthouse, jail, banks, police buildings, contractors buildings? Police, CCTV or private security will pass that image of a face to all databases they have access to.
With that person a criminal? Tourist looking at the old courthouse? Could have been a first amendment audit?
So the amount of images from all over the USA or anyone that went on an international holiday covers millions of images updated every week. Private sector, partnerships, private security, social media finds, past job applications, work ID.
In some states the front and back license plate, driver and any passenger faces have been recorded domestically for some time.

Re "They want to know if you voted for Trump or one of his opponents."
The USA does not keep count of "how" each person voted. The voting is done in secret.
The problem is the numbers of noncitizens voting illegally in U.S. elections.

From help with Equation Group, Stuxnet
The problem is gov malware will be waiting on any smartphone will all the deep access of the OS/hardware maker.
Its like really bad Tempest collection at both ends past any decryption and encryption app OS level.
The OS/hardware has to become the gov malware if it wants to sell in that nation. No app can escape that if it displays plain text.
The chance is the same device was used to create the message, send the message, be networked with the other person and be to decrypt the response.
People trust the app creator and the legal/freedom branding of their US OS. Governments just have to stay deeper in both smartphones.
To get back to cryptography that can be secure the message would have to be created by hand or on an air gapped device. Then photographed as a code ready message.
Move the code photo file to another computer at the other end, OCR and decode.
But the two people still got noticed sending messages on the network.
Anonymity and privacy are both been weakened on the network and in the smartphone.
Per device low level access will get past any user app layer thats doing the encryption or decryption.
If its plain text at any time on the device, thats what gov/mil malware will keep.
