The Home Office has not yet produced a biometrics strategy, which would include the use of automatic facial recognition. However, the Metropolitan Police Service is already using automatic facial recognition as a policing tactic. Is there any legal basis, strategy, policy or procedure that governs the way this capability is being used by the police in London?
