https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/04/13/china-crime-facial-recognition-cameras-catch-suspect-at-concert-with-60000-people

On the night of April 7, nearly 60,000 people or roughly 1 percent of the city's population had gathered at the Nanchang International Sports Center for a concert by Cantopop legend Jacky Cheung.

Who could ever locate a single person in such a crowd?

And so it was there, amid the sea of faces in a packed stadium, with everyone's attention presumably turned to the stage, that the fugitive assumed he was safe from authorities.

But in the middle of an upbeat electronic song about summer romance, a pair of police officers began descending the aisles, according to footage posted on the Chinese video sharing site Miaopai. Soon, they had arrived at the row they were looking for and apprehended the 31-year-old.

Before Cheung had finished singing the refrain, officers were escorting the man out of the show.

The man, identified only by his surname Ao, was reportedly wanted for economic crimes, according to Kan Kan News. Details about Ao had been in a national database, and when he had arrived at the stadium, cameras at the entrances with facial-recognition technology had identified him and flagged authorities, the news site reported.

Ao's unlikely capture became the latest example of China's growing use of facial-recognition technology.

As The Washington Post's Simon Denyer reported, law enforcement and security officials in China hope to use such technology to track suspects and even predict crimes.


Imagine how victims could rest easy knowing that the criminals who harmed them were caught using this technology instead of roaming free recommitting crimes.

Because you can't trust the Chinese government just to track criminals.

also because they decide who is a criminal and who isn't

FFS they have "social scores" for people.

What's China's legal system like?
Do they have a corrupt boner for "99% conviction rates" like Japan supposedly does?

Misleading title, it's not like the cameras managed to pick him out of 60,000 people in the stadium, they saw him entering, presumably while he was the only person in the camera's view as he used his ticket or w/e.

The left in western Europe and in America is salivating at bringing this type of surveillance over to the west. Yet another reason why we absolutely need deeply respected 2nd amendment rights and personal liberties.

Perhaps... a variant on Yakov Smirnoff's 'Russian Reversal'?

In America, wangs find cameras. In China, cameras find Wang.

Of course, that's only tangentially racist, and not very funny.

I like how it's the "Chinese" part that worries you instead of the "government" part.
