Facial recognition: the United Kingdom under surveillance
3 min
Verfügbar bis zum 28/11/2026

Used by the police, this technology can identify and intercept wanted individuals by comparing the faces of passers-by with a database in real time. Unlike many of its European neighbours, the UK has no specific legislation regulating facial recognition.
