The United Kingdom (UK) is well known for having some of the most heavily, electronically, monitored cities in the world. With so many security cameras it is next to impossible to not be on camera, if you are on one of the city streets. Facial recognition is a tool that the UK police believed that they could use in order to help sift through footage to find potential suspects. In theory, a machine would be able to search through footage in a fraction of the speed and could potentially identify people of interest more accurately. This is why this software was tested on such a large datastore. This test benefits both the software itself as well as the police, if it is able to work properly.
