You're assuming they only have pictures and publicly available information...
I'm saying the NYPD and Feds can identify anyone in NYC and track all their movements, thru means they're not legally able to utilize at that wide of scale, but they do.
This article is from 2021:

But they were already running facial recognition on everyone walking down streets, you think they've eased off with Eric Adams running the show?
You think the NYPD doesn't have permanent sting rays installed and log everyone by cell phone?
That's the entire point of my comment, that if they say how they know it's Luigi, it's going to be a Snowden level revelation about government surveillance in one of the largest cities on the planet.
Most presidential administrations would be smart enough not to let the public know about that, especially in a scenario where the public is on the accused side to this extent.
They are nowhere near to having it that much together at the moment with the facial recognition and bullshit.
Mangione is not the guy that did this. Facial recognition is far from perfect. And cops lie. You should presume everything they say about anything is lie which it is.
I can't speak to whether they have the right guy or not, but it certainly seems like they only had illegally obtained data suggesting it was him, and then decided to arrest him anyway by planting some stuff in his backpack. So far they haven't disclosed any admissible evidence, considering the backpack broke chain of custody.
That is what I am saying too when they came out everything they said was bullshit. A Manifesto, somebody writing about how health insurance sucks after health insurance executive gets popped? A gun consistent with the ability to fire a 9 mm bullet? There are are more of those in the United States than mangione's age and demographic group. The pictures from the scene do not mark match up. What else some fighting a candy wrapper or is something that could have been planted after the fact. If they had real evidence they would have condemned him and public opinion right away.
Also around half of murders in NYC are solved (by that it means someone was arrested and charged, not necessarily convicted). Despite this widespread video surveillance. It makes me wonder what is the point of all that if their crime resolution rate is that low.
