In the Face of Ethics: Police Use of Live Facial Recognition Technology

实时面部识别（LFR）是基于使用实时视频图像对人群中个人的面部进行映射，并提取其生物特征面部特征，以产生识别面部的唯一数字签名。然后将这些数据与“观察名单”中包含的图像中的面部生物特征数据进行匹配。考虑到保护私人权利和公共利益之间的微妙平衡，执法机构使用flfr引发了广泛的道德和法律问题，涉及对民主公民自由的潜在干涉。委员会对非法干涉隐私权、言论自由权、集会和结社自由权、禁止歧视权和数据保护权深表关切。拟议研究的目的是回答以下问题：适用于执法机构部署LFR的道德标准是什么？《人权法》及其后续立法所保护的现行法律原则是否适合并足以应对因部署LFR而产生的宗教方面的考虑？在保护人权和公民自由的同时，为了利用执法机构当前和潜在使用LFR的好处，需要实施哪些必要的监管保障措施？

Live Facial Recognition (LFR) is based on mapping the facesof individuals in crowds by using real-time video imageryand extracting their biometric facial features to produce aunique digital signature of identified faces. This data isthen matched against facial biometric data from imagesincluded in a 'watchlist'. Law enforcement agencies use ofLFR raises a wide range of ethical and legal questionsrelating to potential interference with democratic civilliberties, considering the delicate balance between theprotection of private rights and the public interest. Deepconcerns are raised of unlawful interference with the Rightto Privacy, Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Assemblyand Association, Prohibition of Discrimination and DataProtection Rights.The objective of the proposed research is answering thequestions: what are the moral standards that apply to thelaw enforcement agencies deployment of LFR? Are currentlegal principles guarded by Human Rights Law and itssubsequent legislation suitable and sufficient to confront allethical considerations arising from the deployment of LFR?What are the necessary regulatory safeguards to beimplemented in order to harness the benefits of current andpotential use of LFR by law enforcement agencies, whileprotecting human rights and civil liberties?
