Gait recognition is supposed to be as good as a fingerprint. Plenty of video footage to identify everyone there even with masks on and no phone.

So if you want to do something illegal, put a small stone in your shoe to change things a bit?

Gaits, like fingerprints, would do a pretty good job of matching a suspect to evidence, but if they have a gait (or fingerprint) and there is no match in the system, then what?

Are you aware of a database of everyones gait to match against?
