Look at jan 6th in america, thousands of protestors were involved and are now facing prosecution. They don't need to be arrested at the scene any more

It's not just the tech, one thing that has been done right is the rise of local and community policing - integration in communities and talking to people.

They don't need AI to identify people, local police looking at these videos will be able to identify and name the vast majority of the worst offenders. They'll know them by name, who they generally kick about with, and where their granny likes to get a nice cuppa and a wee cake.
