Live use of Automated Facial Recognition deemed unlawful in England & Wales

The Court of Appeal has overturned an earlier judgement in favour of South Wales Police and has deemed the use of live automated facial recognition (AFR) software as unlawful. Police had deployed AFR in Cardiff to check fans attending a large sports event, but its use was challenged by UK civil rights group, Liberty. The bans on the use of AFR in the USA and UK emphasise why law enforcement agencies should be using HUMAN Super Recognisers. More details in the attached BBC report:
