wondering about that line:

  A 36-year-old woman who had been unlawfully at large for more than 20 years and was wanted for failing to appeal at court for an assault in 2004. 
so she was 16 when she "disappeared" (how, where, sleeping in the streets?) and the camera can link a 16 y.o. face to a 36 y.o. one after probably rough years?

What's the argument here? Thats crimes should be forgiven after 16 years, or that facial recognition is demonstrably robust?
He is implying he doubts the accuracy of that 'match'.
not understanding written words is one thing, but your lack of basic maths is appalling
Please re-read your comment. What you wrote is as a question not a statement. And, you did it in a way that suggests it's loaded. Forcing others to infer the motivation of a disingenuous question, so they can try to extract some statement it might be making, is a poor way to communicate, because they will get it wrong, because it required understanding the mindset that you're asking the fake question from.

It's best to state statements and leave the questions for queries.

> Thats crimes should be forgiven after 16 years

That’s very common, yes.

That it's a fishy story?
