Description[edit | ]
The implementation of FR in Latvia begun in 2009, when the Biometric Data Processing System (BDAS) Law was adopted and then, FR became fully operational in 2012. BDAS is used as a central biometric repository to store facial and fingerprint data collected by state institutions during different civil and criminal proceedings. Biometric data related to crime investigation is stored in a logically separated sub-database of BDAS referred to as the criminal data array. The BDAS criminal data array contains information obtained from detained, suspected, accused and convicted people and also from unidentified dead bodies. As of January 2020, there were more than 270 000 cases registered in the BDAS criminal data array and approximately 78 000 of these included facial images.
Only information in the criminal data array is used for FR searches during crime investigations, while all other sub-databases are unavailable because of both technical and legal restrictions. It is permissible for FR searches to be conducted by a wide range of police officers, when needed, during criminal investigations. The results of the search can only be used as an intelligence lead. 1
1.2. Organisations involved The Information Centre of the Ministry of Interior is the owner and custodian of BDAS. The State Police of the Ministry of Interior is the user of information in BDAS both in terms of entering the data and performing FR searches. 1References
