@edmontonpolice should definitely be investigating all sexual assaults, but they should use evidence-based methods if they actually care about justice.

Did @edmontonpolice do any sort of vetting before wasting taxpayer dollars to purchase a technology that cannot be used in this way? And from such a problematic company? A simple google search could have prevented misuse of funds on science fiction.

Is today a bad day to mention that a 9/11 of people is dying of acute COVID-19 in the US every week?
