Facial Recognition, Law Enforcement and the Identity-australian Matching Services (‘ims’) Bill
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: This paper focus on the use of facial recognition technology (‘FRT’) by Australian government for the purpose of law enforcement. The use of FRT to law enforcement presents several challenges (risks) for which there are no easy solutions, but that need to be recognized more broadly, such as the lack of accuracy, bias, impact on civil liberties (privacy), security risks. This research has a qualitative nature and was developed through bibliographic research. Part I describes how FRT works and its risks. Part II makes considerations on the employment of FRT in Australia to identity-matching. Part III talks about the Identity Matching Services (‘IMS’) Bill, introduced in 2018 to facilitate the sharing of identification information (including facial images) within the government; this legislation lapsed on the dissolution of parliament and, as will be discussed, at least how it is now, it should not be revived.
