UK: Police Use Technology to Identify Football Hooligans
Tom Young writes on Computing:
As England’s World Cup quarter-final match with Portugal approaches, UK police are turning to innovative technology to help in the fight against hooliganism.More here.
A Portable Passport Reader is being used at Luton, Gatwick and Heathrow airports, and at Dover and Waterloo international terminals to try and identify known football hooligans and stop them from leaving the country.
Some 3,500 known football hooligans were issued with banning orders before the World Cup which required them to hand in their passports, but some 200 offenders failed to do so.
