British to Develop National Video ID System
From CNET News.com:
The British are developing a facial-recognition system that would link a national police database with facial images of criminals and their history. I am curious how well this will work, since facial recognition technology has been over-hyped. However, there are signs that facial recognition may have value, such as the recent study on Identix. So lets wait and see.
According to a report quoted in the article:
"PITO [Police Information Technology Organisation] expects to prepare an outline business case for national video identification systems, define standards and link video images with facial images stored within Find [national police database], during the coming year"
