In a UK first, South Wales Police introduced ‘semi-permanent’ AI facial recognition cameras across Cardiff city centre during this year’s Six Nations rugby internationals – Big Brother Watch went to investigate as Wales took on England.
The result: 160,000+ faces scanned = Zero arrests. This marks a significant shift, as previously, forces have only deployed mobile live facial recognition vans equipped with a small number of cameras. Live facial recognition is an authoritarian mass surveillance tool that turns the public into walking ID cards.
By putting these cameras on our high streets, we’re all being treated like suspects in a digital police line-up, with our photos taken for repeated identity checks – often without us even realising it. In the last three years of their deployments of live facial recognition at sporting events, South Wales Police has made no arrests, yet taxpayers are footing the bill for this expensive and intrusive tech.
