The UK government is expanding facial recognition technology use in policing, aiming to combat crime more effectively. A ten-week public consultation is underway to gather opinions on regulation and privacy safeguards.

The debate around these technologies remains contentious, with significant implications for law enforcement and privacy in the UK.
