    I suspect the Ministry of Silly Walks will start receiving a lot of new grant requests soon if you’re correct about gait recognition being used in this case.

      He’s not saying they used gait recognition, he’s saying they probably used something high-tech that no one has heard of. The public has know about gait analysis, voice analysis, handwriting analysis, etc for a long time.

        The public doesn’t know about gait analysis.

        I don’t think this is any real secret squirrel shit, I think it they’re just trying to conceal the identity of the person who made the tip.

        Which is understandable, I’m sure if they were identified they’d get death threats.

          You don’t know about gait analysis. A quick search would show you its not “squirrel shit.” Lots of research papers are available from the past 10+ years about using it for surveillance, and there’s even a wiki page.
