I know this view is not going to go down well with the HN crowd, but consider this: The name used by the actual thief was used to track down Bah and arrest him.

I know this view is not going to go down well with the HN crowd, but consider this: The name used by the actual thief was used to track down Bah and arrest him. The normal course from there would be a long haul process to prove he was innocent. But he was exonerated by the presence of facial recognition which showed that the person in the store was not Bah. The facial recognition here seems to have done neither more nor less than a regular CCTV camera in a store. If anything the presence of the cameras helped free him!

But that's not morally gratifying! I came to this thread to be outraged.

The facial recognition prevented Bah from recovering his account. He was accused, and I believe arrested, multiple times. Despite being proven innocent time and time again. If I understood this article correctly, the thief did not always sign in/show an ID. Sometimes the facial recognition just tied the man to the stolen ID. The CCTV did help prove his innocence, when it wasnt misteriously missing, but the facial recognition, was in fact a problem.
