Governments worldwide are racing to either introduce or expand their use of policing facial recognition technology (FRT), a tool that can enable mass surveillance, with little regard for the risks involved. In response, INCLO has created these FRT Principles to provide a foundation for understanding the risks associated with FRT and serve as a tool for assessment and advocacy for those seeking to challenge its use.

Our principles are focused on the use of FRT by police for the purpose of identification. We believe they are valuable to civil society, policymakers, legislators, the public, media, courts, and law enforcement.
