If you shopped at a Waikato Bunnings store today, you probably had your face scanned. The hardware giant switched on its new technology at its Hamilton South and Te Rapa stores this week. The AI technology is targeting repeat shoplifters and offenders and is is due to be implemented at all Bunnings stores around New Zealand in a phased rollout. Bunnings New Zealand general manager Melissa Haines spoke to Lisa Owen.

A retail consultancy group says more stores now feel facial recognition technology is essential, as staff face increasingly aggressive behaviour. First Retail Group managing director Chris Wilkinson spoke to John Campbell.

Repeat offenders are the target of the recent Bunnings facial recognition technology rollout. It's turning on scanners in Te Rapa and Hamilton South today, before later rolling them out countrywide. Threats have more than doubled in the hardware retailer's stores in the past four years, 34 percent from repeat offenders. Bunnings New Zealand general manager Melissa Haines says data on regular shoppers won't be kept. "If someone comes into our stores, there's a very quick scan of the face - if there's any match to a person that's previously committed serious harm in our stores, then that's where we're using it."

Over the past year, the city of Milwaukee has been wrestling with the use of facial recognition technology. This is tech that some law enforcement agencies use to assist in investigations using surveillance footage.  The Milwaukee Police Department has used the technology without clear guidelines in place and community members have pushed back. This debate has played out online, in the streets, and in board meetings inside city hall. WUWM reporters Eddie Morales and Jimmy Gutierrez trace the recent battle over facial recognition technology and examine how the community has responded.

The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood says she makes “no apology” for announcing the roll-out of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) to all the police services in England and Wales. Under a government white paper on policing, the number of Live Facial Recognition vans will increase from 10 to 50. Police say it's groundbreaking technology in the fight against crime, but civil liberties groups say it's authoritarian and a step towards a "surveillance state".Facial recognition cameras are already used in shops; the difference with LFR is that the software used by police tracks faces against a watchlist - a specific database of faces - from a live video feed. But the legal framework regulating the use of the technology is a patchwork of common law, human rights legislation and police guidelines, which has been challenged in the High Court. There is also concern about a lack of oversight over how police watchlists are compiled, and why the number of people on the list now stretches into the thousands. So is LFR legal?

In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Unisearch Expert Opinion Services, we explore how forensic and cognitive psychology is being applied in the justice system, and how – together with facial recognition technology – such developments may have implications for legal proceedings. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Professor Richard Kemp, PhD, and Unisearch Expert Opinion Service business development manager Christopher Aaron Yong about Professor Kemp's research fields, why experts like him are in greater demand, the pertinence and necessity of such services in ensuring access to justice, the limitations of such scientific fields, and addressing gaps in legal proceedings. Professor Kemp and Yong also delve into the types of proceedings that such services can be applied to, the place for facial recognition technology in such conversations, risks to be navigated, implications for legal practitioners on the ground, case studies and lessons from those proceedings, and also explore how to assess the reliability of one's memory.

Even though no longer in "Cream City," Gus has remained mindful of Wisconsin news. On Thursday, two Milwaukee Officers were shot, one critically, by an alleged black male gunman. They day before Gus departed #MKE, officers were at City Hall insisting that they need Facial Recognition Technology to curb this sort of violence. And this week before the shooting, officers insisted that drones are also a necessary tool on the war on crime. In Texas, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony was formally indicted for murder in the killing of a White student at a spring school track meet. Gus suspects many Victims of Racism have forgotten about this case after the initial maelstrom. #BradfordBeach INVEST in The C.O.W.S. - https://cash.app/$TheCOWS #TheCOWS16Years CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:00pm- Can the Federal Government Be Trusted with Facial-Recognition Technology? Alex Welz of National Review writes: “The General Services Administration, which controls the public's access to government services, is introducing new facial-identification technology that has Republican lawmakers concerned about the privacy of their constituents. The GSA's ‘login.gov,' which describes itself as the ‘front door' to the federal government, announced earlier this month that users will now have the option of uploading a selfie to confirm their identity.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/can-the-federal-government-be-trusted-with-facial-recognition-technology-were-about-to-find-out/ 6:30pm- On Tuesday, The Atlantic published a piece written by Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg which alleges that Donald Trump praised Nazi generals for their loyalty, and that he once demeaned fallen American soldier Vanessa Guillen—refusing to pay $60,000 for her funeral. On Wednesday, Guillen's sister—Mayra Guillen—responded to Goldberg's claims via her X account: “Wow. I don't appreciate how you are exploiting my sister's death for politics—hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members. President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.” During a CNN townhall event, Kamala Harris explicitly stated that she believes Trump is a “fascist.” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre echoed identical sentiments on behalf of the Biden-Harris Administration. On Friday, an Auschwitz survivor named Jerry Wartski appeared in a social media video demanding that Harris apologize for the outlandish comparison: “I know more about Hitler than Kamala will ever know in a thousand lifetimes. For her to accuse President Trump of being like Hitler is the worst thing I've ever heard in my 75 years of living in the U.S."
