David Davis MP wrote an opinion piece in The Telegraph calling for a moratorium on the police’s use of live facial recognition, noting our investigation and revelations around the police’s use and our long-standing campaign against it.

“We must not thoughtlessly let such technology become a ubiquitous part of modern life, eroding civil liberties in the UK for little gain and some risk.”
