Legal framework for using facial recognition in law enforcement

Imported from official source

Digital Rights Classified by Officially

This consultation aims to ensure that the law keeps pace with technological developments and provides clear, consistent rules that the public can understand more easily, and that law enforcement can rely on as they increasingly use these technologies.

The consultation seeks views on a wide range of issues, including which technologies should be covered by the new framework - such as biometric, inferential, and object recognition tools - and which organisations it should apply to.
