Always nice to see when child predators get blindsided with a rise in the local tech level: it turns out that bleeding-edge photo-enhancement and pattern-matching technology can glean all sorts of interesting details from digital images these days. Like where that child molester went on vacation. Or what his prescription bottle information is saying in that ‘blurry’ photo. Or any other sorts of useful information.
Alas, those sick f*cks will eventually start doing counter-measures. But that’s the nature of technology. And, of course, there’s unfortunately a large backlog for the feds to go through again…
