    They worked on it, they knew what could happen. I could face criminal charges if I do certain things at work that harm the public.

      I have no idea where Facewatch got their software from. The developers of this software could’ve been told their software will be used to find missing kids. Not really fair to blame developers. Blame the people on top.
