"This consultation aims to ensure that the law keeps pace with technological developments and provides clear, consistent rules that the public can understand more easily, and that law enforcement can rely on as they increasingly use these technologies. The consultation seeks views on a wide range of issues, including which technologies should be covered by the new framework - such as biometric, inferential, and object recognition tools - and which organisations it should apply to."
"It also explores when and how these technologies should be used, what safeguards are necessary to protect privacy and other rights, and how to ensure their use is demonstrably proportionate to the seriousness of the harm being addressed. See also: Request an accessible format. If you use assistive technology (such as a screen reader) and need a version of this document in a more accessible format, please email alternativeformats@homeoffice.gov.uk. Please tell us what format you need. It will help us if you say what assistive technology you use."
The government is launching a consultation to develop a legal framework governing law enforcement use of facial recognition and similar technologies. The framework aims to ensure the law keeps pace with technological developments and to provide clear, consistent rules that the public can understand and that law enforcement can rely on. The consultation seeks views on which technologies to include — such as biometric, inferential, and object recognition tools — and which organisations should be covered. The consultation also considers when and how these technologies should be used, necessary safeguards to protect privacy and other rights, and how to ensure use is proportionate to the seriousness of the harm addressed. Accessible formats are available for those using assistive technology via alternativeformats@homeoffice.gov.uk.
