stop the person and determine their identity

http://www.sptimes.com/News/063001/TampaBay/Ybor_police_cameras_g.shtml Ybor police cameras go spy-tech If there is a resemblance, the computer will rate it from 1 to 10, giving out an audible "whoop whoop!" alarm for 8.5 and above. The officer will then contact others on the street by radio, Todd said, who will stop the person and determine their identity. If they are wanted, they will be arrested. If they are not, the situation will be explained to them and they are free to go. Since when can cops stop you on the street, when you're not committing a crime, and ask for ID? Because a computer gave them "probable cause"??? And in the 'needs organ harvesting' dept, from the same article "That's awesome," said Souders, 35, a caterer. "If you don't have anything to worry about, it won't bother you. As far as any invasion of rights -- if you're breaking the law, your rights are kind of dissolved."
