Of course it will lead to reduced crime, and allow them to solve more of them. That's kind of expected, when you can find and track where is anyone 24/7.

But then you inevitably get a far-right governemt, because that's the rapidly rising trend all over the world, and suddenly 'crime' also means being trans, or feeding homeless, or not being far-right enough, or speaking up about how maybe we shouldn't jail trans people.

10+ years ago, facial regonition like this would still be controversial, but you could maybe kind of have a benefit of the doubt that it might be worth the extremely reduced crime rate.

Now, when democracies are falling left and right and it's only a matter of time when your country starts their own version of concentration camps, it's a really stupid fucking idea.

So, fuck this bullshit propaganda piece.
