Writing to the Home Secretary on 27 January 2024, the Lords Justice and Home Affairs Committee (JHAC) outlined the findings of its brief investigation into the use of LFR by UK police, noting there are no rigorous standards or systems of regulation in place to control forces' use of the technology.
"Does the use of LFR have a basis in law? Is it actually legal? It is essential that the public trusts LFR and how it is used," said JHAC chair Baroness Hamwee in a statement accompanying the letter. "It is fundamental that the legal basis is clear. Current regulation is not sufficient. Oversight is inadequate."
