Live facial recognition at a football stadium

Police install a van with mobile cameras and live facial recognition at the main entrance of a stadium during a European Championship match. The watchlist covers people suspected of offences ranging from serious crime to fraud and burglary, plus people of possible intelligence interest and vulnerable persons with mental health issues. There is no information linking a specific person to this event.

The official source remains authoritative. This is general information about obligations and not legal advice. See this object on the map

What this object links to

Every relation appears below as a path: from the source with its locator, through the conditions and exceptions of the object carrying the relation, to the consequence. A locator belongs to a statement in the data and not to a relation, so the source is the source anchor of the carrying object.

What this object states

Official fact

Attributable to a named primary source, with a locator. Where they differ, the official source prevails.

The Commission guidelines on prohibited AI practices treat this case as a worked example under Article 5. The document is non-binding: authoritative interpretation rests with the Court of Justice.

Our interpretation

Our own reading. It can change without the law changing, and it is not the position of a supervisory authority.

A watchlist that mixes different kinds of suspicion and is not tied to the specific event is too unspecific, and the presence of one person for whom deployment would be allowed does not legitimise the whole operation.
