Colo. to 'map' faces of drivers

By Julia C. Martinez
Denver Post Capitol Bureau

Wednesday, July 04, 2001 - First it was the photo-radar vans snapping
pictures of Denver-area speeders.

Now, some fear Big Brother's roving eye soon will be watching all of
Colorado with the arrival of a new European import called "face
recognition."

The Department of Motor Vehicles, in an effort to prevent identity theft and
driver's license fraud, is buying cameras that will map every driver's
facial characteristics like a three-dimensional land chart.
