Three of the city's 13 cameras are linked full time to the face recognition system, though the others can be activited as needed. The database of wanted people is updated every day. So far, the system has failed to produce a single arrest, though it has generated a few false alarms. It works by analyzing faces based on a series of measurements, such as the distance from the tip of the nose to the chin or the space between the eyes. Critics say it is highly inaccurate and can be easily fooled. Mullen, who sees the system eventually being linked to the databases of other city, state and federal law enforcement agencies to track criticals and suspected terrorists, said, "The system doesn't look at skin color or your hair or your gender. It takes human prejudices out of the equation. "
"This technology has little or no effect on the crime rate but it does have an effect on people's behavior. People feel cowed, " said Bruce Steinhardt, who directs the technology. Despite the fact that tests have shown faces recognition only works in around 30% cases, the ACLU is alarmed that the technology may soon spread to airports. The organization also fears it could potentially be used to monitor individual's political activities to harass law-abiding citizens.
" This kind of surveillance should be subject to the same procedures as wiretaps. Law enforcement agencies should justify why they need it and it should be tightly limited, otherwise it will soon become a tool of social control, " said Mihir Kshisagar of the Electronic Information Privacy Center. Nor does such criticism come exclusively from the political left. Lawyer John Whitehead, founder of the conservative Rutherford Institute, wrote in an editorial that the technology threatened the right of each U. S. citizen to participate in society. "After all, that is exactly what constant surveillance is—the ultimate implied threat of coercion, " he wrote.
What does Mullen's statement in Paragraph 1 indicate？
A．Police is confident in using the technology.
B．Police has made preparation for the use of the technology.
C．Citizens have rights over managing the technology.
D．Police has gone through public education process.

In a new survey of more than 900 major U. S. companies, nearly two-thirds of them acknowledged using a range of surveillance methods to monitor their employees and up to a quarter of them do it secretly. And the practice is on the rise. According to the ACLU (The American Civil Liberties Union) Workplace Rights Project, the number of employees being monitored has doubled in the last five years.
What's driving this increase？ Partly, it's competition. If everyone else in an industry is keeping tabs on their workers, there's pressure to join in. But, to a large extent, companies have stepped up monitoring simply because it could be done, cheaply and efficiently.
Employers argue that they need information about employees in order to make important decisions about quality and safety on the job. Information about employee's physical and psychological health, political preferences, and so on allows them to help those who need it and reward those who are especially productive. Moreover, employers think they have the right to know how equipment they provide is being used on the job, if rules are being obeyed, if employees are getting the job done. That helps explain why banks routinely tape customer service calls, and why the U. S. Postal Service is testing a satellite system to track how long it takes to get the mail delivered.
Yet, on the other hand, technology was also adopted to accomplish other important goals. Video cameras were recently installed in some of the office buildings to deter theft, while others may keep a log of all phone calls so employees can pay the company for their personal calls.
According to Rebecca Locketz, the legal director of the ACLU's Workplace Right Project, there are legitimate uses of monitoring programs. But too often surveillance practices demean workers for no good reasons. She argues that employees should not have to leave their human dignity at the workplace door. They're entitled to a few safe-guards in this area. First, employees should always be informed when they're monitored. And second, there should be no monitoring whatsoever in purely private areas.
In the United States there are few protections against invasions of privacy. The fourth Amendment to the Constitution prevents the government from searching or removing things from one's home without proper permission. The Electronic Communication Privacy Act of 1986 prevents an employer from listening to personal telephone conversations that take place during the work day. However, it permits monitoring of business calls. The ACLU and other organizations are promoting ways to expand protections for Americans' privacy in the workplace.
So far there is only one state, Connecticut, that forbids surveillance in areas such as locker rooms or the employee lounge. In other states, employers do secretly videotape private places if they suspect theft or criminal activities such as drug dealing.

World Trade Organization(WTO)is an organization that intends to supervise and liberalize international trade. The organization officially commenced on 1 January 1995. The organization deals with regulation of trade between participating countries; it provides a framework for negotiating and formalizing trade agreements, and a dispute resolution process aimed at enforcing participants adherence to WTO agreements, which are signed by representatives of member governments and ratified by their parliaments. Among the various functions of the WTO, these are regarded by analysts as the most important: It oversees the implementation, administration and operation of the covered agreements. It provides a forum for negotiations and for settling disputes. Additionally, it is the WTOs duty to review and propagate the national trade policies, and to ensure the coherence and transparency of trade policies through surveillance in global economic policy-making. Another priority of the WTO is the assistance of developing, least-developed and low-income countries in transition to adjust to WTO rules and disciplines through technical cooperation and training.
