The problem comes with hardware which doesn't have a way (or, at least, a user-friendly way) to update its locale data. I recall having problems a decade or so ago with discrepancies between two computers because one of them hadn't been updated with the then-very-recent changes to Chilean law about summer time and the other one had.

But maybe an authoritarian dictatorship isn't a great example. Then turn your eyes to France and Spain.

On a point of order... Spain was in GMT until an authoritarian dictator decided that being in the same timezone as Nazi Germany would be convenient. France changed when it was occupied by Nazi Germany. Where you arguably get away with the examples is that there is a question as to why they haven't changed back.

American exam or 100 year old German exam?

Because Oracle can DEFINITELY be trusted!

Disclaimer: I used to work for Oracle, and my boss, Ken Ross, pulled down his $40K quarterly bonus by simply billing customers for work that was never done.

There are use cases you're not covering. Last month I needed a photo of my sister-in-law's ID card to prove that I'd correctly transcribed her address (bureaucrats don't always understand that other countries do things like addresses differently) when applying for a document to make it easier for her to visit. If she'd had to be there in person we'd have had a circular dependency.

They get real upset when your phone lens is sticking out of your breast pocket in strip clubs. I don't know why... (Honestly, I wasn't recording, I just didn't feel like sitting on my phone.)

Audio recording without consent is already illegal under the wiretap laws in most states. The weird thing is that video recording without consent isn't!

Your honor, my script was a "rogue," so therefore it is responsible and I am not.

I just wish that somebody, somewhere, would masturbate to pictures of me... sigh.

And smart glasses just make an already punchable face 100 times more punchable!

The difference is that when someone points a cellphone lens at you, you know they are recording you, and that the best response is to silently turn around and walk away. Surreptitious recording is done without consent or the victim's knowledge. That being said, it might be a good idea to record consent before sex, and for girls at frat parties to wear smart glasses to prove there was no consent.

Wait... the license plate provided by the state couldn't survive being outside in the sun, and that's YOUR fault???

The cop(s) that LIED in the arrest report and said her car had damage matching the damage that would have been caused by the hit-and-run should be in jail!

And I'm sure it was VERY STRONGLY WORDED too!

1. All license or face matches done by AI need to be verified by a human being before acting on them.

2. I warrant signed by a judge should be required to track anybody by telling the system to alert you every time their license plate goes by a camera.
