What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

New regulations were established in London to limit the misuse of facial recognition technology. These guardrails will govern how police and businesses use the cameras, with officers only allowed to use the technology if they believe wanted people are nearby. A new legal code will also be drawn up to govern business use, and a new watchdog will monitor police use of the technology.
