Let's say this technology was basically infallible: only known shoplifters were flagged. What then? Should shoplifting once mean that a person is banned from all stores that use this service for life? Also: I assume that this service wouldn't just impact shoplifters, but anyone that a store saw fit to ban for any reason. What about people who experience mental health crises? I had a friend who had psychotic breaks while her issues were still undiagnosed and untreated I know that this ultimately depends on the store's own policies, the facial recognition tech just provides information. but frankly I don't want to live in a world where making such a minor mistake in your youth could basically ruin your life

> Should shoplifting once mean that a person is banned from all stores that use this service for life? I mean, it depends, right? Barred from buying any groceries for stealing a candy bar is obviously wrong… but if you walk out the door with a five-figure watch you didn’t pay for, I’m happy for you to be banned from Rolex shops for life, yeah.

  Unless you already went to jail for it? People do change over the timelines of an entire life.

  If a decision needs to be made, I think "access to public businesses" should be something that is decided in a court, and not by shady AI surveillance corporations.
