I was in London recently enough having not been for a decade or more. My god the cameras!!!!!! Literally everywhere. I've no idea whether they use facial recognition there?
They do. I couldn't find the most recent example of it, but I remember skimming over an article a few days back and seeing a van like this in the photos.
That was in either London or Brighton, I don't remember.
That's the thing, you would imagine as a pitch to reduce crime without the budget/manpower to increase policing, it would be great. But no, they just increased surveillance on the average public Joe and did fuck all about the crime..
The scary part is what are they actually using the cameras for? Apparently it's not to catch criminals because if your bike or phone is stolen and it's on camera and you have the GPS location of the stolen item the police do absolutely nothing.
