Facial recognition and the English maladministration

Two stories that cover some government approaches. I am not surprised about the Home Office though - 11 years ago or so, I was seconded there for a year as we provided some technology. Part of my role included looking at the potential (and state) of new technologies, one of which was ‘predictive crime prevention’. Our report was suppressed. Too much hard evidence.
