    Tbh part of my response to this is just knee-jerk reaction, this specific application might not be a bad idea, but I’m terrified of the surveillance state this type of stuff is warming us up for. There’s already talk of cops in US and China and probably other places planning to use ML like this to pore over security footage and find criminals/track people in general. To me this sounds like England’s first dip into that authoritarian pool, a proof of concept to see how viable it is keeping the entire country under 24/7 surveillance
