<p>When using technologies like live facial recognition (LFR) it is important that
the police maintain public trust in line with the principle of policing by consent.
Opinion polling shows strong public support for its use, particularly for serious
and violent crimes.</p><p>The College of Policing has consulted on guidance, which
covers the importance of providing the public with information about when LFR is used.
This guidance, and local force policies, will also explain the basis on which police
forces process personal data – typically in line with Section 35(5) of the Data Protection
Act 2018.</p><p>In normal circumstances (other than when a section 60AA Criminal Justice
and Public Order Act 1994 order is in place) the police do not have a legal power
to issue fines simply where a person chooses not to walk past a LFR system.</p>
