bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 days agoI thought I read somewhere that they actually used face rec and CCTV, but leaked that it was a call-in tip to obfuscate the extent of the surveillance state from the public?
I mean, I don’t doubt that honestly, makes a lot more sense to me especially since they never got any reward money.
Also could of been a way to “legalize” the illegally obtained facial recognition, or some other form of illegal intelligence gathering.
