There has been much talk in recent weeks about body cameras and facial recognition technology.

The ICCL and other human rights organisations note that such systems can often identify faces incorrectly, particularly those of women and people of colour. The ICCL also stated that in its opinion the use of such technology is neither necessary nor proportionate. Does GSOC have any comment to make about whether the use of such technology would be good, bad or effective for the organisation in carrying out its own work? Having consideration for those concerns, would its use be proportionate?
