I couldn't see how else they could identify him - unless he left his fingerprints in the shop and the local police spotted that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is enough for a photo with the 5 police officers involved in solving this crime. enough for a vinyl board and the crime is serious enough that they need someone with a microphone and pointer to make a video of it. Is this xenophobia? Trying to prove how bad foreigners are? Where I come from they could put you in jail for the night. But probably you will be outside in a couple of hours. And it is certainly not a reason for a press conference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marqus12 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Years ago, the first cell phone in my life was stolen. The thief used it together with the sim card.

Beggar Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 "Local police contacted immigration who with the help of biometrics technology traced the suspect to Nit Bungalow on Samui" I guess this sophisticated biometrics technology was a simple picture of this guy since the shop had a video camera.

I am wondering if they have an automatic system for recognizing photos. This biometrics system sounds so innocent. But I once saw that with face recognition and a camera system they could follow people when walking through a city. They could draw a map of places 1 person visited. Connect that with the info immigration has with photos and names. Soon, security personnel and police can follow you on a monitor when you walk on the street with the expiration date of your visa on the screen.
