In Southeast China, the police used facial recognition tech to locate and detain a suspect from among a crowd of over 60,000 people. The event was that of a pop concert by popular Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung while the fugitive was attending the show. The concert was being held in Nanchang, Jiangxi province.

The fugitive was successfully identified from within the crowd of thousands of attendees through the facial recognition technology, which provided surprisingly accurate results. Currently, the police haven’t revealed the full name of the suspect and he is being referred to with his family name Ao.


And, China has been using facial recognition in public bathrooms to get TP after a poop.

Facial recognition machines have been installed in public toilets in Beijing’s most famous Park, Temple of Heaven. These machines are on trial to avoid the waste of toilet paper, as it has been excessively used by “some tourists.”

So be prepared to use a limited 60-centimeter-piece (that has been upgraded from one-ply to two-ply) given to each user after having their face scanned in the main toilet’s entrance. The sensor will not dispense more paper to the same person until after nine minutes have passed

What they don't say in the article is that the suspect was 6'-5" Lars Ao Underin from Sweden , a definite crowd standout!!
