OPEN DATA, DATA MINING AND PERSONAL DATA IN LAW ENFORCEMENT ENVIRONMENT

In recent years, the law enforcement bodies have increasingly begun to use the facial recognition technology as a tool for identifying suspects and solving crimes. This technology is based on the use of algorithms that can analyze and match facial features to a database of known individuals. One of the main advantages of using facial recognition technology is that it can help to identify suspects quickly and accurately. This can be especially useful in cases where traditional methods of identification, such as fingerprint analysis or DNA testing, are not available or are not effective. Facial recognition technology can be used to monitor large crowds, such as at public events or in high-crime areas, to identify potential suspects or persons of interest. Another benefit of using facial recognition technology is that it can help to reduce the number of false arrests and wrongful convictions. This is because the technology is based on objective criteria and is not subject to human bias or error. Additionally, facial recognition technology can be used to search for missing persons, such as children or elderly individuals, and can assist in the identification of human remains
