    This is a good ruling.

    Now if only they’d scrap the ones against CCTV and facial recognition, we can build a safer society without street crime.

      We’ve had biometic Id for ages, it hasn’t impacted street crime much one way or the other.

      Lower inequality and a safety net, thought? Does wonders.
