Of what catching criminals? I have no problem with that at all. Stop these pieces of trash from ruining all these stores they rob. The only people who have issues with that are people who are trouble makers or the tin foil hat guys who constantly thinks the government is out to get them. I’m fine with this as a customer. Having working for a company that used this, facefirst isn’t great. It can be helpful, but you get a lot of hits on people who are not thieves. A lot of filtering.
