Facial recognition “watch-list� trial in UK stores

PM

Available for over a year

Tests of facial recognition systems are being carried out in UK stores by Facewatch, a company that helps businesses in a local area create watch-lists of images of potential criminals: for example, well known bag thieves or shoplifters. The idea is that staff will receive alerts when someone on a list enters a store but tests have been controversial, as Chris Vallance reports.
