Just jaywalked? Check your mobile phone for a message from police

quote [ Traffic police in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen have always had a reputation for strict enforcement of those flouting road rules in the metropolis of 12 million people.

Now with the help of artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology, jaywalkers will not only be publicly named and shamed, they will be notified of their wrongdoing via instant messaging – along with the fine. ]

There's no need for a policeman, judge, or any other human in this law enforcement transaction. Just the pedestrian/criminal, who will be required to have a phone for enforcement purposes.

Maybe no need for a policeman is not so bad in this situation.
Police in January launched a criminal investigation into whether an officer used excessive force in the arrest of a man suspected of jaywalking and trespassing after he walked across the parking lot of a business already closed for the day.
(and there are scores more examples)
