When formulating the new legal framework, the government will need to set clear parameters for the types of technology which will be subject to the legislation, including safeguards and limits.
1. To what extent do you agree or disagree that a new legal framework should apply to all use of ‘biometric technologies’ by law enforcement organisations?
2. Do you think a new legal framework should apply to ‘inferential’ technology i.e. technology that analyses the body and its movements to infer information about the person, such as their emotions or actions?
3. Do you think a new legal framework should apply to technology that can identify a person’s clothing or personal belongings, or things that they use (e.g. a vehicle)?
4. Do you think that the types of technology the legal framework applies to should be flexible to allow for other technology types to be included in future? The alternative would be for Parliament to consider each new technology.
