This week our director Silkie Carlo walked into the High Court to challenge the Metropolitan Police’s use of live facial recognition cameras. This legal challenge is a landmark step towards protecting the public against intrusive monitoring. Silkie is joined by Shaun Thompson who was wrongly stopped by this Orwellian technology.
This is the first legal action in Europe on behalf of innocent members of the public who were wrongly accused of being criminals following facial recognition alerts. This week, the Home Secretary announced an unprecedented expansion of facial recognition.
This confirms the fear that we've had for a long time - that this technology is part of a mass surveillance infrastructure and it is now surging across the country.

I am not up to speed on English law, but in the US we have specific protections of some of our god-given rights, including the right to be 'secure in our persons, papers, and homes', that things like facial recognition, social media, tracking pixels, and the collective amassed surveillance of us compiled by corporations and delivered to government by sale, utterly violate the privacy and security from judgement the Fourth Amendment provided in 1776. Yet no challenges I am aware of have been adjudicated by courts that respect the limits of informational rape facial recognition and corporate surveillance effect today.
Thanks!
It makes you wonder. In Europe we have the Data Protection act and Common Law.
It seems that a new movement is afkot where locals are successfully making civil claims for unauthorised collection of DATA
and receivkng payouts.
This is being assisted by AI, so let's see how it plays out.
Since the states seems to be following in the footsteps of the UK, as cops are beginning now to knock on doors regarding forthright opinions posted, that might be useful information here right quick. The US's legal system grew from Britain's, and we also are a common law state. Sauces, geese, and ganders, and so on.
