Immediately Ban the use of Public Facial Recognition on the General Public

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

The recent implementation of facial recognition cameras and software have shown to be incompetent at best, or tyrannical at worst.

This perverse and invasive technology has been demonstrated to have up to a 100% failure rate in regards to false positives and has no place in British Society.

Trials, tests, and the implementation of these facial recognition cameras are already widely protested and have led to many serious concerns such as:
