So previously in trying to solve crimes and finding people the police would put up wanted posters. Now they can find people via facial recognition on any social media website or facial recognition on videos to identify people.
Facebook uses facial recognition to identify people to tag them in the photo making the polices job much easier.
In Pittsburg "Southwest Regional Police Chief John Hartman points to a case where
surveillance cameras at a Union Township Dairy Queen captured a man
stealing a donation jar for the Children's Miracle Network.
The
video was posted on the department's Facebook page, and within hours,
tipsters identified and police charged Patrick Hufnagel on suspicion of
the crime."
Police Chief John Hartman says he uses social media in almost every case they have.
