Andy McCue writes on C|Net News:
Police are looking at developing a national system that will use facial recognition technology to automatically identify individuals caught on video cameras.More here.
The plans are part of the Police IT Organisation's (Pito) final business plan before it becomes part of the newly created National Police Improvement Agency next year.
The video recognition system will link into a national police database, called Find, for storing and transmitting facial images of criminals and their history. The service will also make the images and information available in mobile format to police officers on the beat, along with mobile fingerprint checking capability.
