'Let police fight crime with facial recognition' plea

'''Let police fight crime with facial recognition''' plea - BBC News

Police should be allowed more access to facial recognition technology, a firm developing it for use in the private sector has said.

So nothing to do with them making more money then?

I reckon if the people on camera are short they are Welsh. If speaking Welsh they are from the North(The valleys are NOT North Wales) - if not down South.

The police do fec all even if you give them the name and address of burglar and evidence. The problem is with lazy police who want an easy life.

Doesn't help when this stuff about it not working in the majority of cases is in the public domain.

How's it with masks?

When the morons in charge say masks (as in bits of cloth not medical grade ones) need to be worn outdoors I will use face paint to make it appear I am wearing one.

Sweeping generalisation, remember its the CPS that prosecute the evidence, the police only gather it.

I lost track of the number of times when I worked with West Yorks Police that the CPS declined to proceed rather than the police not being able to catch a criminal

Sadly true.

The "I know my rights" scum don't help the cause either.

Over in the US, protestors starting using facial recognition to dox police officers who, usually against regulations, weren't wearing visible ID at protests. Suddenly the police weren't so keen on the technology…

I wouldn't think you need to go to such lengths to make it clear to strangers you're an idiot. It's probably quite apparent without.

Loads of protestors are except the anti-vaxxers.
