  1. Facial recognition should have been banned from day 1. Instead, the Co-op snuck it in, they were told to remove it and refused. Now every supermarket has it. It’ll be in schools and hospitals within five years and you won’t be able to move without being tracked. Granted, Apple and Google were already tracking you, but did we need to add MORE tracking?

  2. The Russian regime made extensive use of facial recognition technology to enforce their Covid lockdown – glad to see we are emulating such a free and democratic society

  4. I know I’m going to be downvoted to hell but am I the only one who doesn’t see a problem with this?

    The reality is that all this does is enable police to find wanted people more often. That’s it. They don’t have the time to look at you going to Waitrose so it’s not going to be used on you – You aren’t important enough.

    And they can’t charge you without other evidence so it’s unlikely to result in any false convictions, especially since if you were obviously not the right person, it would be easy to tell.

    So, to summarise – No downside and law enforcement are better able to do their jobs. Have I missed something?
