ROTFL. Right, of course a sentient witness *can* be trusted. Nope, people don't have notoriously bad memories (proven in tests) when it comes to giving even the most basic details of an event, and nope, they don't have such things as personal agendas, prejudices etc., and they certainly can't be manipulated either, no way!
In other words, no matter how flawed automated (video) surveillance may be, it certainly beats the living crap out of the primitive method of relying on human (eye) witnesses. And *improvemt* is what counts.
