Exploring Monsignor McGolrick Park

Because we wanted to see this landmarked shelter pavilion in Monsignor McGolrick Park, we visited the park and the blocks surrounding it two days before the murder of George Carroll. We are oﬀering these photos as a way to say we stand with Greenpoint in protest against senseless violence. On Friday, Aug. 18, a Greenpoint resident named George Carroll was murdered near Monsignor McGolrick Park. See page 3 Brooklyn Eagle photo by Lore Croghan

No More Phony IDs From the DMV Thanks To Improved Facial Recognition Technology

No More Phony IDs from the DMV Thanks to Improved Facial Recognition Technology By Mary Frost Greenpoint Gazette

It’s gotten much harder to obtain a New York State driver’s license under false

pretenses since the state upgraded its facial recognition technology 18 months ago, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Monday.

Since launching the system at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in 2010, New York has red flagged more than 21,000 possible cases of identity theft or fraud. However, more than a third of these cases were generated since the software upgrade in January 2016, Cuomo said. Out of the 21,000 possible cases, more than 4,000 have been arrested and more than 16,000 people face some sort of administrative action, according to the governor’s release. Facial recognition software uses algorithms of facial characteristics — such as measurements of cheekbones or the distance between eye pupils — to compare driver's license images with other DMV images and identify people who have two or more identities. The 2016 upgrade doubled the number of measurement points mapped to each driver's photograph from 64 to 128, improving the system's ability to match a picture to one that already exists in the database. The system also allows for the ability to overlay images, invert colors and convert images to black and white to better see scars and identifying features on the face. Different hair styles, glasses and other features that can be easily changed do not prevent the system from matching photographs, according to the Governor’s Office. "The use of this facial recognition technology has allowed law enforcement to crack down on fraud, identity theft and other offenses — taking criminals and dangerous drivers off our streets and increasing the safety of New York's roadways," Cuomo said in a statement "New York has a simple policy: one driver, one record. If your license is suspended or revoked, the days of getting a second one

to try to keep driving are over,” added DMV Executive Deputy Commissioner Terri Egan. New York is also collaborating with New Jersey to snag people attempting to obtain a driver’s license in each state. In a three-year study conducted by Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research (ITSMR), around half of those identified as having multiple license records via facial recognition obtained the second record when their original license was suspended or revoked. The state provided several examples of scammers who were caught in the system. • For example, a furniture mover who stole a customer's identity tried to obtain a New York driver’s license under the customer’s name but was denied. He then flew to Florida, obtained a license under the customer's name there, leased a car, took $50,000 cash from the victim's account and was receiving a shipment of fraudulently charged furniture when arrested. • In another case, a driver with two commercial driver’s licenses purchased the identity of a man jailed in Puerto Rico. The driver owned a trucking company under his true name but had four DWI convictions under that identity. He used the second identity to obtain another commercial license and continued to drive his company vehicles. When he was arrested, investigators found that the same stolen identity had been used by three other individuals to obtain licenses in Connecticut, Florida and Massachusetts. • Law enforcement also found a man who used a stolen ID, as well as his real identification, to collect Social Security benefits under both names. He also got a passport under the false

name. • Another suspect with two identifications worked and owned a home under his real name but collected unemployment under the false identity.

Facial Recognition: Privacy Issues As effective as it can be, critics have raise concerns about the software’s potential to invade people’s privacy. In May 2016, the General Accounting Office (GAO) found that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had not fully adhered to privacy laws and had not taken sufficient action to help ensure accuracy of its own facial recognition technology. The FBI’s biometric database, when combined with other government data bases it has ac-

cess to, may include almost half of U.S. adults, according to the GAO. According to a paper published in the December 2012 edition of the journal IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, facial recognition systems are less accurate in identifying AfricanAmericans, women and people between the ages of 18 to 30, making members of these groups more apt to be falsely accused. The Electronic Privacy Information Center reports that the FBI proposed in 2016 exempt its "Next Generation Identification” database from Privacy Act safeguards—including requirements for accuracy, relevancy and transparency. visit brooklyneagle.com for full story

Solidarity with Greenpoint

The trees are really tall in Monsignor McGolrick Park.

A ﬂower as big as a dinner plate grows in this Greenpoint garden. By Lore Croghan Greenpoint Gazette

Rowhouses with charming porches can be found on the Mon‐ itor Street block across from Monsignor McGolrick Park.

We are offering these photos as a way to say we stand with Greenpoint in protest against senseless violence. On Friday, Aug. 18, a Greenpoint resident named George Carroll was murdered near Monsignor McGolrick Park. We are outraged by the savage slaying of Carroll, who had recently moved to the neighborhood with his wife, Christina Romero Carroll. By complete coincidence, just two days before his murder, when we took one of our weekly Brooklyn neighborhood strolls, the spot we decided to visit was the area around Monsignor McGolrick Park. We picked it out because we wanted to see the centuryold shelter pavilion that is located in the park. It is a crescent-shaped, columned arcade that was designed by Helmle & Huberty, an architecture firm that was a big deal back in the day. When the city Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the shelter pavilion as a landmark in 1966, the designation report about it likened its design to that of the Grand Trianon at Versailles. The shelter pavilion is lovely. On the day of our visit, it was a gathering place for numerous moms, caregivers and little kids. The 9-acre park, with its tall trees, was an inviting green space. On the blocks around the park, old-fashioned houses were eye-pleasers. We spent a happy afternoon taking lots of photos.

Monitor Street was especially picturesque. Two days later, that’s where George Carroll was murdered. Stained-glass Windows And a Statue of Pope John Paul II We found another especially picturesque spot on Russell Street, on the block bordering Monsignor McGolrick Park. The former Lutheran Church of the Messiah, which is on that block, was constructed in 1908. Its stained-glass windows are a thing of beauty. The building is currently used by the Park Church Co-op. We also were charmed by a house of worship a couple blocks away — St. Stanislaus Kostka Roman Catholic Church at 607 Humboldt St. Outside its rectory, there’s a statue of the late Pope John Paul II. It commemorates a visit he made to the church in 1969. At that time, he was the Cardinal Archbishop of Krakow, Poland. On numerous blocks near Monsignor McGolrick Park, houses painted in Easter-egg pastels or vibrant red hues drew our eye. When we stood on the sidewalk on the corner of Nassau Avenue and North Henry Street, we caught a glimpse of the World Trade Center. When we looked in the opposite direction, we caught a glimpse of the handsome new Kosciuszko Bridge. Oh Greenpoint, we’re so sad now about George Carroll, and so angry on behalf of all your law-abiding residents.

HELP WANTED/GREENPOINT AREA Need auto mechanic with experience to start immediately. Full or part time positions available. Salary based on experience. Bilingual/Spanish is necessary. This statue of Pope John Paul II stands outside the rectory of St. Stanislaus Kostka Roman Catholic Church.
