## The brief

EFF and several civil society groups have asked Nottinghamshire Police to stop a proposed expansion of live facial recognition. Their letter raises concerns about scanning people in public, possible use involving children and the effects on participation in everyday activities. The groups argue that the force has not adequately addressed proportionality, public support or safeguards.
