Permanent live facial recognition cameras are expected to be fitted along Oxford Street in December, making it one of the first places in the UK with fixed systems. The cameras will compare passing faces against a police watchlist of wanted people. Around half a million people visit the street daily, and human rights groups have criticised the technology as poorly regulated and intrusive for shoppers.
