It emerged...that the property developer Argent was using the cameras “in the interests of public safety” in King’s Cross, mostly north of the railway station across an area including the Google headquarters and the Central Saint Martins art school, but the precise uses of the technology remained unclear. — The Guardian
Residents in the King's Cross district in London have mixed feelings concerning the use of facial recognition CCTV in the area. “For law enforcement purposes, there is some justification, but personally I don’t think a private developer has the right to have that in a public place,” one resident told The Guardian, expressing his dissatisfaction with the technology's use by a "private entity."
Others didn't seem to care as much."I don't mind being recognized...Actually, I feel safer if it's used for security reasons...," another resident expressed to The Guardian, sharing her favor with it being used to keep out criminals. In the end, it doesn't seem clear what the technology is being used for, however.
