Finnish Police and Customs were granted permission to use automatic facial recognition technology at the beginning of June 2019. The Finnish Border Guard has had the right to use this tech since 2005 as part of the automation of passport checking (1:1 verification of a passenger's face to the chip in their passport). In addition to these technologies, the police are also testing an object recognition system which can be used to recognize, for instance, specific objects in robbery situations.

Currently, the Border Guard doesn't use 1:N identification although it has the right to use KASTU in investigation operations and in operations related to preventing or unveiling a crime. The supplier of Helsinki-Vantaa’s FR system and the algorithm that it runs on is Vision-Box S.A. – other technical details of the Border Guard’s surveillance systems are confidential.

Authorities said that despite having the permission to use the software, Finland's current tech infrastructure doesn't yet support the use of automatic facial recognition. Currently, humans — and not artificial intelligence programs — handle surveillance camera images, according to the police and customs.

KASTU (Finland)

2023-10-17T12:15:03Z

Sarapynttari:

KASTU is a one-to-many (1:N) facial recognition system that is intended to be utilized by the police and also by the Border Guard and Customs. The use of KASTU is allowed if criminal investigation is ongoing and if the suspect’s identity can’t be uncovered otherwise (such as with a phone number or witness testimonies).

[[CiteRef::sallinenKasvojentunnistukseenLiittyvanKASTUjarjestelman2020]]

After running the search with a certain facial image, KASTU provides a photo-ID that can be used to find the suspect from the police’s Vitja-RETU register that has over 100 000 images of already convicted or suspected criminals.

<ref>CiteRef::kerkelaPoliisiTekoalyynPerustuvasta2021</ref>

The use of KASTU is legally allowed in investigation and surveillance operations as well as operations related to preventing or unveiling crimes. Furthermore, the police have the right to use KASTU with the Aliens database where facial images collected from asylum seekers and aliens are entered. Searches in this database are only allowed when it is necessary to prevent, unveil or solve the following crimes listed in the Penal Code (39/1889):

• War-, treachery- and treason crimes, crimes against humanity and crimes against political rights (Articles 11–14)

• Riot and violent riot (Article 17(2–4)), state border offense (17(7)), territorial violation (17(7c)) and arrangement of gross illegal entry (17(8a))

• Aggravated destruction (Article 34(3)), aggravated endangerment of health (34(5)) and terrorism crimes (Article 34a)

• Regulation or aggravated regulation crimes (Article 46 (1–2)).

Clearview AI Face Recognition used by Finnish police

In 2021, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) made itself known for using Clearview AI’s facial recognition software to recognize sexual abuse victims in the end of 2019 and start of 2020. 120 searches were made by four NBI officers during a free demo period. Neither NBI’s leadership nor the National Police Board were aware of this experiment – it came up over a year later when Buzzfeed News contacted the organization in March 2021. After that, the police reported the experiment and a possible data breach to the Data Protection Ombudsman who later gave a notice to NBI.
