Police in China arrested a man attending a concert thanks to facial recognition technology in security cameras. A man wanted by police was nabbed at a pop star's concert thanks to facial recognition technology -- which picked the alleged crook out of a crowd of 60,000 people. Chinese police said the suspect – only identified as Mr. Ao – was attending a concert by pop star Jacky Cheung in Nanchang last weekend when he was spotted by CCTV cameras. "The suspect looked completely caught by surprise when we took him away," police officer Li Jin told state news agency Xinhua. "He didn't think police would be able to catch him from a crowd of 60,000 so quickly."
