Views sought on facial recognition
South Wales Echo
|December 04, 2025
MINISTERS are seeking to ramp up police use of facial recognition to fight crime and are asking people how it should be used, to form new laws.
-
A 10-week consultation is being launched that will ask for views on how the technology should be regulated and how to protect people’s privacy.
The UK Government is also proposing to create a regulator to oversee police use of facial recognition, biometrics and other tools, and is collecting opinions on what powers it should have.
Policing minister Sarah Jones described facial recognition as the “biggest break through for catching criminals since DNA matching” saying that it has already helped catch thousands of criminals.
