O/T Facial recognition cameras.....good or bad?

[Brin]

Doesn't bother me one dot if they put them up in every town and city. I've nothing to hide so nothing to fear.

I don't buy all these 'You're invading my privacy' shouts. What have they got to fear? If they're going about their general way of life, what have they got to hide?

With the heightened threat of todays terrorism and the general way that how violent society is, I say bring them on and let them be available for use if needed. A much smarter system and a far more effective way of tracking someone more quickly.

It's been reported that Meadowhall shopping centre management, in partnership with South Yorkshire Police, recently used these in order to track known shoplifters. According to official feedback, the footage was destroyed once viewed.

Thoughts?

Just think if you’ve got nowt to hide then why be bothered?

It's in this week's Advertiser that shoplifting has increased in Rotherham town centre. Any additional camera's should be welcomed if it actually cuts crime

Now if they had hoodie recognition cameras I could see the sense

Some are that brazen ( or thick )they walk into the shop with their hood down.

I just don’t get what the problem is tbh, are people that sad in life that they have to protest everything?

It may be innocuous to the innocent man now but Where is it leading to in say ten or twenty years as prophecised by Orwell

Big brother watching.
Some people are more equal than others
Etc

Exactly! Protest and moan about something just to be heard.
