    Yes, I am aware of such technology - they announced similar capabilities in our existing surveillance system. I know that it is most likely not as advanced as China’s, because that’s how it usually is here. However, it is not clear just how good it is in practice - at least in some cases, they’ve been overselling it (at least in regards to recognizing obstructed faces). So I am not sure just how dangerously accurate said gait recognition is, especially since they have much better facial recognition to depend on.

      yeah for sure, i doubt it’s incredibly accurate on its own. if you’ve got a unique body or an injury that affects your walk or something i bet you’re pretty screwed though (i know i’d be an easy one). plus our police love using incomplete pseudosciences, e.g. ballistics forensics and polygraphs, so i’d still be keeping it in mind
