The UK government's latest move involves a £20 million procurement for tech firms to supply live facial recognition technology for police forces, despite legal concerns.
This initiative represents a significant leap toward integrating invasive facial recognition technology into UK policing, raising critical issues around human rights and privacy.

Despite vocal concerns from MPs regarding a comprehensive legal framework for facial recognition, the government's commitment to deploying it on the streets remains firm and unwavering.
