Speaker 0 describes a facial recognition van; a man covered his face to avoid being caught by police cameras. Police stopped him and photographed him anyway. There’s claimed to be no law against covering one’s face, and Speaker 0 says, “you let him go then.” Speaker 1 counters, suggesting it might be because “I don’t consent to being on there,” calling it “government overreach.” Speaker 0 continues: “Don't cover my face. Don't push me over when I'm walking down the street.” The police deemed this disorderly behavior and issued a fine; Speaker 0 shows a £90 fine and notes that “there you go. Look at that.” He asserts that the man has a right to cover his face and can walk away. Speaker 1 adds: “We live in a country which is free. We don’t have to carry ID.

We did NOT consent to this! The Government plans to put your passport photo on a giant facial recognition database. #StopFacialRecognition

Video Transcript AI Summary

The UK government plans to upload all 45 million passport photos into a police facial recognition database without consent or legislation. This move allows the police to access the passport database and other custody images, creating the largest biometric database for UK policing. However, this expansion of facial recognition surveillance is seen as intrusive and inaccurate, posing a threat to the public's right to privacy. Big Brother Watch is actively opposing this technology, emphasizing the need to protect individual privacy rights.

Speaker 0: Your passport photo is about to be uploaded into a giant police facial recognition database. Speaker 1: We now have extremely sophisticated facial recognition, technology. We've got quite deep databases of custody image running into the millions. We can also search things like the passport database as well. It's on a separate IT system, but the passport database, for example, is searchable. Speaker 0: Without debates, consultation, legislation, or even a consent, UK government has announced plans to turn all 45,000,000 of our passport photos into the biggest biometric database UK policing has ever had Access to people apply for passports to travel, not to have our faces scanned by the police, and our sensitive personal data processed on that. These plans announced by the UK's policing minister represent a massive expansion of facial recognition surveillance in the UK. This intrusive and inaccurate technology won't stop crime, But it will fundamentally erode the British public's right to privacy. Big Brother Watch is fighting the expansion of facial recognition technology. Join us today.
