Well, a combination of gait detection and facial recognition lets China (at least claim) they can find anyone in the country in ten minutes and back track through their day.
Why, you may ask, do they still have unsolved crimes? SHUT UP SHUT UP YOU GO TO JAIL!
There are easy explanations for this… it’s entirely possible it does work, but is computationally expensive… so they only do it when it’s to track someone the government actually cares about.
Steal someone’s iPhone? Who cares.
Hold up a sign that says “Xi looks like Winnie the Pooh”, and now it easily justifies the cost of running their gait detection AI.
I work in cybersecurity, gait detection is no more expensive then facial recognition. It's essentially the same thing. Its also similar in FRR to facial recognition, its used by many companies that require clearances. The benefits to using gait detection are that you can use very low quality resolution to recognize someones gait and from a MUCH farther distance.
Also, gait detection won't be the smoking gun, but it can be used to corroborate with all the other recorded data they have on you. Like with cellphone surveillance to confirm you were in the area. Enough evidence to justify getting even more evidence on you.
