The authorities didn’t get around to actually trying to arrest and prosecute most of the participants until much later.

Yeah, that’s part of my point: watch any movie or TV show, or read breathless “criti-hype” articles about surveillance

I’m seeing too many articles like these:

Black Lives Matter. Still

Facial recognition leads to wrongful arrest of Black man in Detroit

@Karyudo

you’d be forgiven for thinking every time your face is captured even incidentally and briefly on a camera somewhere, you’re just one “zoom in… enhance” from being instantly arrested (or, more likely, hassled). Kinda nice to learn it ain’t necessarily so.

In too many instant arrests, no zoom in is even attempted. For some groups, LEOs don’t seem to care about accurate identification, since casting a wide net and sorting out the details later can still increase their closed case count. I’m not even gonna rehash letting the insurrectionists go home, while BLM protesters were rounded up very quickly and large numbers faced harsh penalties.
