Do let me expand just a bit.  Suppose a crime comes down, something
sufficiently serious in our times that resources would be expended to
apprehend the perp, such as murder 1 or cultural appropriation.

All we have are grainy video images.  The software would take images of all
the locals out on parole for murder 1 and the yahoo seen wearing a sombrero
to the neighborhood Cinco de Mayo party, the software narrows it down from a
few thousand usual suspects to half a dozen most likely, they call them in,
parole officer asks a few questions about where she was on such and such a
day and time and who saw her there.

Lotta times she knows she's busted, doesn't even bother trying some breezy
story, peacefully hands over the sombrero.
