When a sporting spectator receives a lifetime ban from a stadium for racism, vandalism, violence, streaking, etc. how is that enforced? There are tens of thousands of people who attend each game. What is a stop them from coming back? How does the banning process and enforcement work?

Facial recognition software and AI for CCTV in general has come a long way in the last 10 years. Your face will be added to a blacklist and flagged within 30 seconds for review – and any high-end system will keep track of you across multiple cameras for an operator to guide physical resources towards you.

These systems are at the point where they can also accurately detect violence and firearms, and operators can broad search livestreams from radio reports with terms like “blue hat, grey sweatshirt, black pants” and instantly track anyone who meets that criteria (or met that criteria previously and has since changed clothes – cross referenced with facial and gait recognition amongst others). 

For public safety it’s great, looking ahead to the future though there is potential for misuse.
