The Fugitive Facial Recognition System (SRFP) was introduced in 2019 in the city of Buenos Aires with the aim of detecting people wanted by the police. The SRPF was governed by a technical cooperation agreement between the National Registry of Persons (RENAPER) and the Ministry of Security of Buenos Aires. The signed agreement allowed them to access a database of approximately 40,000 people. With this agreement, the Government of Buenos Aires was able to use the 9,500 security cameras equipped with facial recognition software distributed in the capital, whose images reach the Urban Monitoring Center (Centro Urbano de Monitoreo), under the supervision of the Ministry of Security and Justice. Investigations were carried out at the Buenos Aires Ministry of Justice and Security and the Urban Monitoring Center (CMU), and it was determined that, between April 2019 and March 2022, the Ministry of Security and Justice of Argentina used the system of video cameras with facial recognition to access the biometric data of 7 million people, without a court order for it. Because of this finding, a judge signed a resolution on Tuesday, April 12, where the suspension of the facial recognition system was ordered. He held that the City of Buenos Aires was only authorized to extract biometric data from people required by justice. And he warned that the big number of searches of citizens, many known for their public performance, shows that the process could have been manipulated to obtain improper information illegally.  +
As part of the Smart City project in Lucknow, the officials are planning to install facial recognition cameras at 10 intersections in Lucknow for the purpose of reducing crime and improving safety. These cameras will be managed by the Integrated Traffic Management System (ITMS). Even if the person is wearing a mask or helmet, the police claim that the facial recognition technology can still identify people.  +
