Police believe live facial recognition cameras may become “commonplace” in England and Wales, according to internal documents, with the number of faces scanned having doubled to nearly 5m in the last year.

every police officer in the UK should shove up their cameras into their own asses. literal china developing over there for quite a few years now.

Perhaps balaclavas will become common place in response, at least in public places.

I’m immune compromised. I wear an N95 mask whenever I go out. Sometimes to change things up, I’ll draw a smiley (or other) mouth on it with felt tip markers. Just need to work out how to disguise everything above the mask in a way that doesn’t look like a deliberate disguise.

Drink once if they ban face coverings because of this.

Drink twice if they somehow link it to hijabs and burqas in a skewed bid to “win back Reform voters”.

Down your drink if they fuck up and do it around the time of the next pandemic.
