Lego.
Can you remember the drug bust in Cranbourne recently where they found thousands of dollars of Lego?
Drug dealers are trading their product for Lego; they are then selling it on Bricklink.
The Druggos walk into Big W or Target or Kmart, grab a trolley, fill it up with Lego and just walk out, ignoring Staff and Security.
This is who the facial recognition is supposed to target. They can prosecute an individual who is a multiple offender, but it isn’t worth the risk for a security guard to forcibly restrain an unpredictable single offender.
