The_DADDY Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Policing minister Chris Philp wants to extend the technology across forces in England and Wales Facial recognition is to be deployed in police officers’ body-worn video cameras as part of Government plans to embed the technology across forces nationally. Policing minister Chris Philp is said to want to extend the technology across forces in England and Wales and extend its deployment from solely CCTV to body worn devices, drones and ANPR number-plate cameras. Only a handful of forces including South Wales and the Metropolitan police have so far used facial recognition cameras which allow officers to identify potential suspects or missing people and cross reference their image with a database of photographs. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/05/17/facial-recognition-police-body-cameras-chris-philip/ Your thoughts?

Every facial recognition system has problems distinguishing between black people - even if it's just because the lower contrast of their facial features makes it more difficult for the systems to identify the things they look for when telling people apart. I've yet to see any evidence that the manufacturers have sorted that problem out and it certainly didn't stop the police from rolling the systems out previously.

Guest Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Not bothered either way but it seems to me that it's the coppers who are always covering their faces up. They keep looking like something out of Star wars. I grew up with Jack Warner and sergeant Dixon in Dock Green, way before Dr Who came and pinched his police box.

The prisons are full so they'll probably turn them off during peak times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cressida Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 What about police officers being chipped to make sure they don't bash up members of the public, is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
