Read that and reap! There's more to come.
Always thought the term was "read and WEEP", but I like yours better, Danny.
@Danny - this particular woman was not walking the streets alone. You say "be aware of your surroundings!" She was in her apartment doing laundry.
Facial recognition software works OK when comparing similar shots with each other - say mugshots and drivers license photos.
It's pretty awful at comparing random security photos to a known database. There have been a few companies trying to sell software that claims a high hit rate with security camera footage, but nobody has proven that it actually works.
There was a big pilot program for a similar system at the Superbowl a few years ago. They never used it again.
Decades ago when I was a twenty-something, starting a family, living in an apartment just off campus [[in Woodbridge) I was often doing laundry in the basement alone, a few times while pregnant preparing for birth of a child. Goodness! I'd never take such a risk now!! Even I if were holding a cocked pistol in one hand and laundry bag in the other. Times are indeed worse...
This creep needs to be caught now as he will do it again. He's of slight build as is his victim from photos [[she looks maybe a size 4 or so). Ladies, never allow yourself to be alone on any campus classroom either. Too many folks walking about who aren't students, they can wander in shut the door and commit assault.
Zacha, thank you for highlighting harm to women. In the 70's rape was quite common around, in or near campus. I have no solutions, poor baby was doing laundry. Castrate the bastards. Rape is a serious crime but honestly don't believe our police take it serious.Crimes against women get trivialized. Sigh!
I don't care much about this conversation, but a quick Google search brought this up from 2010:
