That's usually cities, transport, and infrastructure -- but not always. The following parts of the video are either under-reported or potentially unbelievable so here are some sources for further information: More info on the photo database: https://bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/press-releases/passport-searches/ More info on DVLA photos being added to the database: https://www.biometricupdate.com/202603/uk-lords-reject-bid-to-block-police-facial-recognition-searches-of-dvla-database More info on the homicide prediction tool: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/apr/08/uk-creating-prediction-tool-to-identify-people-most-likely-to-kill Not a whole lot of information available on the Offender Assessment System, but here's a source that has a good overview: https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/display/book/9781447312611/ch015.xml https://www.rma.scot/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Offender-Assessment-System-OASys-2.pdf Also, while I'm posting this I'm seeing that the train station trials haven't gone well: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/sep/29/trial-live-facial-recognition-cameras-london-stations-false-positive Croydon trial info here: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cddpzglzrv7o I used Artlist for some sound effects in this video, follow this link to use them yourself: https://artlist.io/artlist-70446/?artlist_aid=osullivanluke_3983 This video is sponsored by Incogni.
