Should the police use more facial recognition?
On Friday 25th February, former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Lord Bernard Hogan Howe, who argues for increased use of facial recognition in UK policing, joined us to speak to Intellectual Forum Director Julian Huppert.

Julian served on the House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee, and used to be on Liberty’s National Council.
