R (Bridges) v Chief Constable of South Wales Police (Facial Recognition)

Police deployment of live automated facial recognition technology interferes with Article 8 ECHR rights and is unlawful where the legal framework leaves excessive discretion to individual officers as to where the technology is used and whose images go on the watchlist, so that the interference is not 'in accordance with the law'; the framework in use was insufficiently precise and the force had also failed to discharge its public sector equality duty.
