英国零售连锁企业 Sainsbury's、B&M 及 Spar 正在联合部署由 Facewatch 提供的实时面部识别监控系统 [1]。该系统能够在检测到严重罪犯时立即向警方发出警报，这一举措已在英国超过 100 家相关企业中实施 [1]。民权组织对此表示强烈反对，警告称此举标志着零售业监控与刑事化进程的“危险升级”[1]。
Retail giants Sainsbury's and B&M are deploying a real-time facial recognition system provided by Facewatch at more than 100 businesses across the UK [1]. The technology is designed to match detected faces against criminal databases and immediately alert police when serious offenders are identified [1]. Spar has also been included among the retailers involved in this rollout [1]. This initiative has sparked strong opposition from civil rights groups, who warn that it represents a "dangerous escalation" of retail surveillance and criminalization [1].
