Social Credit Rating System: Pedestrians who jay walk, who cross when there is a red light, if identified will be fined 20 yuan after they commit three offences. They are named and shamed after each offence, I public, for all to see. An image of their face and name appears of the video screen. This is part of a new control using face recognition camera software installations at traffic lights. Offences or misdemeanours, like these, can contribute to a citizen's social credit rating. They lose points for a traffic ticket but gain points for an "exemplary city level heroic act". A poor social credit score can lead to bans from travel, certain schools, luxury hotels, government positions and even dating apps. Traffic lights at crossroads. Beijing outskirts. China
