UK minister defends use of live facial recognition vans

Aug, 13, 2025 Hi-network.com

Dame Diana Johnson, the UK policing minister, has reassured the public that expanded use of live facial recognition vans is being deployed in a measured and proportionate manner.

She emphasised that the tools aim only to assist police in locating high-harm offenders, not to create a surveillance society.

Addressing concerns raised by Labour peer Baroness Chakrabarti, who argued the technology was being introduced outside existing legal frameworks, Johnson firmly rejected such claims.

She stated that UK public acceptance would depend on a responsible and targeted application.

By framing the technology as a focused tool for effective law enforcement rather than pervasive monitoring, Johnson seeks to balance public safety with civil liberties and privacy.
