Let me guess, they'll narrow it down to a bunch of people wearing surgical masks, hats, glasses, cheap windbreakers, and blue jeans. Now they can just arrest half the people in Japan!

Even if faces are clear, how realistic it can be traced back to anyone?

How can you really find someone from 100x100 pixel image? I am genuinely interested.

Assuming ATMs take and store a photo every time they're used, then it'll be a matter of matching the photos to photos of people already in the corpus of training data several times. That makes it quite easy.

Presumably you leverage the camera network to follow them to some other location.
