Live facial recog lacks a legal basis, UK committee warns
The UK House of Lords' Justice and Home Affairs Committee has warned that there is no clear legal basis for the use of live facial recognition technology by police.
There are no rigorous standards or systems of regulation in place for live facial recognition, and there is a lack of consistency in the training of police forces in its use.
The committee is calling for a clear legal foundation, a framework for regulation, and independent scrutiny of the deployment of live facial recognition technology. [ more ]
