London's Met police to scale up use of drones and live facial recognition

The Metropolitan Police in London plans to expand its use of drones and live facial recognition technology, sparking concerns among civil liberties advocates. Big Brother Watch, a UK campaign group, argues that these measures could infringe on personal freedoms and privacy. This move underscores a broader trend of law enforcement agencies leveraging advanced technology for surveillance, raising questions about the balance between security and individual rights. The implications could influence future policies on surveillance across the UK and beyond.
