This paper analyses a recent judgment by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales, described by many commentators as the first judicial decision worldwide to deal analytically with the issue of compatibility between the usage of facial recognition tools by law enforcement on the one hand and the right to privacy on the other. Although the judgment has not solved the tensions between supporters and opponents of facial recognition systems in the UK, it has raised issues of great interest even for the Italian legal system, where such tools are available to law enforcement agencies but are not sufficiently regulated by law.

Abstract

This paper analyses a recent judgment by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales, described by many commentators as the first judicial decision worldwide to deal analytically with the issue of compatibility between the usage of facial recognition tools by law enforcement on the one hand and the right to privacy on the other. Although the judgment has not solved the tensions between supporters and opponents of facial recognition systems in the UK, it has raised issues of great interest even for the Italian legal system, where such tools are available to law enforcement agencies but are not sufficiently regulated by law.
