 OPPOSE FACIAL RECOGNITION

Every police force in the country is using dangerous facial recognition technology that enables them to ID and track any one of us. We urgently need safeguards to protect our rights as we go about our daily lives.

Millions of people have had their faces scanned without their consent and we've seen people hauled out of their homes after being misidentified by racially biased algorithms.

Robust safeguards, oversight, and transparency should have been in place before this techonology was ever introduced to our city centres and high streets.

The Government must urgently pause all public body use of facial recognition use until new laws are in place with robust transparency, oversight and safeguards to protect us all, including:

• Limiting facial recognition use to:

  • Searching for missing persons or victims of abduction, human trafficking and sexual exploitation

  • Preventing an imminent threat to life or people’s safety

  • Searching for people suspected of committing a serious criminal offence

• Ensuring that facial recognition watchlists only contain images strictly relevant to those particular use cases
