"In the UK, face analysis tech helped nab a suspect in 2014. That same year in the US, it was used to identify and arrest a man sought for alleged involvement in two armed robberies."

So in 4 years, Brit cops managed to nab a suspect and American cops arrested one man with this.

Real game changing technology then. How much was spent on this tech per arrest?
