Re: Buy a clue

If the system had resulted in the detection of criminals, then of course the police would advertise that fact after making use of that information because the more the public believe the chance is of the police detecting criminals, the less likely a person is to commit a crime. Sure, initially they may keep the suspect under surveillance without telling anyone, but that would only be for the duration of the festival - the information has little value for crime detection purposes after that.
