How are they tagging everyone though? Where’s this database they’re comparing against?
If this is like any other government project it won’t work, it will cost 10 million pounds, and is developed by a company that previously specialized in the manufacture of plastic cutlery.
The company behind it, who supply the data are called Facewatch. I’m not going to link to their site but they’re the ones supplying the tech and db. They did it by scraping social media sites as well as government documents and the plan is to add the UK Passport db data soon.
The good news: Police are wearing body cams that they can’t turn off.
The bad news: It’s because the cameras are using constant facial recognition to tag everyone.

But no actual experience in the manufacture of plastic cutlery.
The Met are already using it - just not (yet) on bodycams.
