Ms Lucy Smith:
Yes. The system has only been operating in the United Kingdom for approximately 18 months. I understand a series of 20 robberies in London was resolved and people prosecuted as a direct result of the system. Another case related to a serial sex offender was also solved. A number of positive justice outcomes have been achieved within the first nine months of the trial process, which was the pilot scheme.
