#FacialRecognition is being used by police and private companies in public places. It’s use is discriminatory and authoritarian. We need to ban it.

Facial Recognition cameras scan everyone within range, making a biometric map of their face – which is more like taking a fingerprint than a photo. This is hugely disproportionate surveillance.
Facial recognition cameras will make us more likely to self-censor, affecting where we go and who with.
We shouldn’t have to change how we live our lives to protect ourselves from unwarranted surveillance.
Facial recognition embeds discriminatory policing practices. It’s more likely to misidentify people of colour and women, and is often used by police in locations with predominantly BAME or working class populations.

The first-ever UK court case against police use of #FacialRecognition tech on our streets starts tomorrow.

South Wales Police has used the rights-abusing, discriminatory tech on the public over 50 times. We’re going to put an end to it.

#ResistFacialRec
#FacialRecognition cameras are light-years away from regular CCTV. They scan everyone within range and make unique biometric maps of their faces - more like a fingerprint than a photograph.
The biometric maps made by #FacialRecognition cameras are then matched against watch lists the police put together. These lists can include entirely innocent people. In 2017, the tech was used to target people with mental health conditions. theguardian.com/technology/201…

BREAKING: Kings Cross under private facial recognition surveillance @kingscrossN1C

This is the worst case scenario for privacy. Huge areas of our capital have been sold off, privately policed - and now are being covered with Chinese-style surveillance.

@wdunlap “But even beyond #Trump’s own words further up, there’s a good deal of evidence the two were friendly social acquaintances at least through the early 2000s”

PART 2....

be cause for alarm. There is mounting concern about the impact of pensions tax allowances, and especially the tapered annual allowance for higher earners.”

There have been innumerable heart wrenching stories of doctors forced to give up additional sessions,
teaching roles, and leadership roles because of these ill conceived taxes. Please continue to share these - including with your MP.

Please stay tuned and keep up the interest. Lastly and most importantly if you haven't already written to your MP we have updated the template so
PLEASE do so NOW.

Please take the time to customise your letter and let your MP know how these pensions taxes are adversely affecting your patients. If you have already written, and you are not satisfied with your response, please write again (and again)

It's been a busy week so I thought it might be useful to have a round-up (links at the end if you are catching up) - PLEASE share widely (including colleagues off twitter) and RETWEET to raise awareness. There is real momentum gathering on this campaign to have a really good look
at the punitive taxes that are destroying capacity in our NHS and compromising patient care.

Since last weekend there has been further unparalleled coverage on this in the @FT from @JosephineCumbo [1,2], @HSJNews [3] and also TV coverage from @skynews [4,5] as well as the
excellent interview by @paullewismoney on @Moneybox last Saturday [6]

@TheBMA had a campaign to write to your MPs [7] and this has been a fantastic success - well over 1000 doctors wrote to their MPs & many MPs quoted their letter in a Westminster Hall debate in

"There are big concerns about equality issues arising from #FacialRecognition, particularly the risk of misidentifying people of colour who are already disproportionately affected by policing tactics."

- @GreenJennyJones #live in @UKHouseofLords
"The Govnt can't stand idly by while allowing this intrusion into individuals' rights and identities (...)

The Govnt is letting the police get on with automated #FacialRecognition as an 'operational matter'. This is clearly not just an 'operational matter'" - @GreenJennyJones
"I'm very concerned that this technology is being used with a database full of illegal images of innocent people - and I include myself in that number" - @GreenJennyJones 👏👏👏
