#FacialRecognitionTechnology has been used to ban innocent shoppers who look like offender.

FRT doesn't stop crime in progress, it only helps stores ban repeat offenders. How else can stores protect staff and other shoppers from misbehaviour or crime at the time?
Retailers need other options.

1NewsNZ and 3NewsNZ report on #FacialRecognitionTechnology as tool to reduce illegal or antisocial behaviour in stores.

How does it stop bad behaviour?

FRT doesn't give security means to stop theft, or change behaviour. At most a store can ban people it identifies.

Would you like to spend a week in New South Wales Australia for work? No Written report required on return. OK for #NZPolice to have experts looking into #FacialRecognitionTechnology but No Report? Really?
Thanks to RNZ's Phil Pennington for another interesting tale!

It happens to me many times, so yeah. Sometimes it's annoying, and there's also fear.

When Face Recognition Doesn’t Know Your Face Is a Face
An estimated 100 million people live with facial differences. As face recognition tech becomes widespread, some say they’re getting blocked from accessing essential systems and services.

Dans leurs yeux : la France à l'heure de la reconnaissance faciale
Mai 2026, en France. Un lycéen, un CPE, et une femme sont confrontés à une nouvelle réalité : la reconnaissance faciale. Lorsque les technologies de surveillance envahissent nos vies, que reste-t-il de nos libertés ? _________ Le court-métrage d'Amnesty International « Dans leurs yeux » met en scène les possibles dérives de la reconnaissance faciale si elle s’installait dans notre quotidien. L’alerte est réelle : la reconnaissance faciale pourrait bientôt arriver en France où le recours aux technologies de surveillance se multiplie. La reconnaissance faciale menace notre vie privée, accentue les discriminations, porte atteinte à nos libertés fondamentales. Il suffit d’un seul réglage pour activer la reconnaissance faciale sur certaines caméras. Et il suffit d’une seule loi pour interdire cette technologie. ✍️ Signez notre pétition pour interdire l'utilisation de la reconnaissance faciale en France : https://vu.fr/aPmaR 👀 Découvrir les expérimentations de reconnaissance faciale en France : https://www.amnesty.fr/actualites/france-technologies-de-surveillance-reconnaissance-faciale 👉 Tout savoir sur les dangers de la reconnaissance faciale : https://www.amnesty.fr/actualites/reconnaissance-faciale-neuf-questions-pour-comprendre _________ © « Dans leurs yeux » Réalisé par : Jules Baron Produit par : Ad5s _________ Suivez notre actualité sur notre site : http://www.amnesty.fr/ Suivez-nous sur les réseaux sociaux : https://www.instagram.com/amnestyfrance/ https://www.tiktok.com/@amnestyfrance https://www.facebook.com/amnestyfr https://twitter.com/amnestyfrance
