Increasing use of #FacialRecognition cameras in public will mean none of us are invisible. Your local council, the Home Office, the police, retailers, the pub landlord. They all may be able to ID you.

When I picked up the scanner upon entering Tesco today, it read "Hello xxxmy namexxx" which took me aback. Of course I'd already i.d'd myself with the store-card, so it most likely wasn't FR. They have recently installed cameras on the self-service checkouts though, so they definitely recognise me.

Winco Foods has a pole mounted video scanner from above that tracks and video records you and all the products in your shopping cart as you self checkout. It will alarm if you accidently leave something in there, even if it's a reusable grocery bag, after paying. Then it plays back a video of what was in the cart as well as of yourself for the store employee to review. Guess it's theft prevention but it seems to be too much.
