I'm afraid that the society we once knew is being taken from us. We are descending into a low trust society, without the policing that there once was. It's gradually becoming the wild west.

In my humble opinion.

There is nothing in the mohamedan religion that requires women to cover their faces.

CCTV does not prevent crime. Nor does facial recognition. 

Why do some human rights aware people object to their over-use? Because they can be used to detect crimes which do not exist at present.

I was in the loo when my mobile phone rang....
It was on the kitchen table about 10 foot away..
I tried to hurry my wee.. Would it stop.! Nooooooo !!
The more anxious I became the more wee appeared..
I quickly used some toilet tissue and waddled to the kitchen'' I waddled because I didn't pull my joggers up..
As I got to the phone the bloody thing stopped ringing..
It was my doctor.. I don't know why.. There is no reason for a call..
I am probably in some dark cupboard laying in the tray  of 'Lost calls' along with a few more hundred patients..
Never to know why they called... :smiley: :smiley:

Quote from: Dextrous63 on Yesterday at 11:34:25 AMI don't understand who they're trying to hide their ID from.  The authorities won't penalise them, and their fellow brethren won't be an issue.  You'd have thought they'd be proud to show themselves. 🤷🏻�♂️
Orders from husbands: 'This is my possession and nobody will have the benefit of seeing it'.

Theft appears to be on the increase.
No connection to Rachel Thieves, I suppose?

I agree that facial recognition is likely to be advantageous in crime prevention, especially as I see so many people on the news who are wearing face masks to hide their identity.
Muslim women, of course, might be encouraged not to cover their faces.  That is an ancient religious requirement and I'm sure that many of them only do so following orders from their husband (or even father).
