Automatic Face Recognition in the UK: Policy and Practice.
summary
The UK has moved from pilots to live facial recognition in public spaces (police trials, carnival and station tests, Notting Hill and South Wales), generating a court case (Bridges v South Wales) and five regulator-ordered stoppages; accuracy varies, racial and age bias recurs, and private–public data sharing (Kings Cross) and Clearview-style web-scraping raise new risks. Regulators publish an ICO opinion, require a data protection impact assessment and question lawful grounds for biometric watchlists, while calls grow for new primary legislation or an outright ban.
