Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

They don't need facial recognition, there's gait recognition that's just as good.
However I don't think that's what it was because Luigi's back issues would have introduced variations in gait that make it much harder.
It's 2024 bro....
That's all stuff we knew about 20 years ago, I think what they used is something we can't even guess at. Once we find out it'll sound like common sense like gait recognition and savvier criminals will account for it by doing things like wearing different sized shoes or even putting tacks in their shoes.
But until people know what's being used, they can't beat it reliably, which is why they do these parallel investigations to hide how they really do it (only applicable when one of the elites are victims).
I suspect the Ministry of Silly Walks will start receiving a lot of new grant requests soon if you're correct about gait recognition being used in this case.
He's not saying they used gait recognition, he's saying they probably used something high-tech that no one has heard of. The public has know about gait analysis, voice analysis, handwriting analysis, etc for a long time.
The public doesn't know about gait analysis.
I don't think this is any real secret squirrel shit, I think it they're just trying to conceal the identity of the person who made the tip.
Which is understandable, I'm sure if they were identified they'd get death threats.
You don't know about gait analysis. A quick search would show you its not "squirrel shit." Lots of research papers are available from the past 10+ years about using it for surveillance, and there's even a wiki page.
I know about gait analysis. If you go talk to people on the street, they won't.
That's not what I meant when I said the public knows.
There's another case I have a strong suspicion about. Some "random guy at the bar" tipped off the FBI about a guy they've been watching for years. They claim they printed out the picture matching the name/description and the agent recognised him immediately as someone he had questioned once and snapped him up. Was one of those guys planning to blow shit up but I don't get why they couldn't get a fucking warrant for that.
