Oh man. The Bigfoot hunters are gonna go nuts over this tech. Cryptozoologists too - there’s some recent supposed sightings of the Tasmanian Tiger that have been getting a lot of attention.
This is really exciting tech. The potential for this is huge, especially when this data is compared with other population estimates, which should get it more accurate. All while being non-invasive to the species.
I think one of the most interesting applications of this technology is linking suspects to crimes. One of the key pieces of evidence used in convictions is proving that the suspect was at the scene of the crime. If they can’t provide a solid alibi, or reason for them to have been there, then they’re basically screwed.

It’s one thing to understand that while surfing the Internet you expose yourself to being monitored, it’s quite another to take a walk around the park and have someone trying to ‘sniff out’ your movement and potentially your identity.
Are there people who don’t really understand the implications of this?

I seem to remember the BBC lighting the whole pond up with sensors at the same time, and confirming it’s empty.
