Just listened to an interesting programme on Radio 4 about this. I have long been a doubter and this just cemented my opinion.
It is rife in CHina and used to control peoples movements. The uk trials (4 years so basically operational process) have now become actual practice in South Wales and with the Met in London. It is also used at football matches. If you have been you Euro away games you will have all seen the "spotters" looking for trouble makers but this is a whole new ball game.
It has a terrible success rate, in some tests 80% of faces were wrong, even wrong sex and race!"
Many cities in the US and also Scottish parliament do not allow it's use.
The biggest concern for me is that it takes away the ability to protest and dissuades activism, without which we would still have the poll tax, no vote for women and so on. The old bill response is always that if you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to hide however, if you plan on attending a peaceful protest in your teens it will always have you down as an trouble maker or similar.
All very Orwellian I think and actually deserves a huge protest before it is fully ingrained in our society.
What do we think?
