Piero Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 UK's first permanent facial recognition cameras installed in south London Daily Mail, Monday, 24th March, 2025 The UK's first permanent facial recognition cameras are set to hit south London's high streets. The cameras will scan for wanted criminals walking by in Croydon as part of a project by the Metropolitan Police that could extend across the capital. They will capture the faces of people on the street in order to catch alleged rapists, burglars, robbers and other criminals by matching them with the images they have in their database. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14529341/permanent-facial-recognition-cameras-London.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Grapes Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Big Brother Watch commented: "There is no specific legislation mentioning live facial recognition in the UK. The police are writing their own rules when it comes to expanding this Orwellian technology. "This net of facial recognition surveillance could be extended beyond Croydon, and capture all of London, as well as other cities across the UK, if we don't fight back together." "We're supporting Europe's first legal action against police and private use of facial recognition on behalf of innocent members of the public who were wrongly flagged as criminals and threatened with arrest by this technology. Winning this challenge will not just defend freedom today but will secure the liberty of future generations." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
