You can't "mistype the account number", as it has control digits. I mean, there's a possibility, but it's really slim.

I would like to know where you get that

1) It clearly does not work (as opposed to "it has a low accuracy" which just means they will have to filter manually) and

2) They are pursuing a goal of policing with fewer police officers and

3) Having a working solution would mean they could police with fewer police officers (cameras can't detain suspects or intervene when problems arise, AND police officers don't carry a mental database of all suspects like a computer could have, so having cameras does not replace having police officers).

!g is a bang or whatever they call it. If you put "potato !g" in DDG, it redirects you to google search

DDG is super super bad. I don't know why people recommend it at all. Now that you mentioned !g I remembered all my DDG experiments... 1) change my default search engine to DDG, 2) use it for some time, 3) use !g in half of my searches, 4) use !g in all of my searches, 5) say "fuck it" and switch back to google

So change the law or whatever, but as it is, they own the copyright, whether you like it or not. Saying otherwise is at the same level of discourse as using the word "Micro$oft" and similar puerile rubbish.

In what parallel reality are the proper owners of the copyright "scam sites"?
