Presumably they don't get flagged up in Birmingham because the tech is being trialled in Cardiff.
And yes, it is exactly like pulling over a car based on matching model and colour from the description of a vehicle used in a crime.
Provided it is used properly, i.e. faces are captured only for checking against the wanted faces, then I have no problem with this. If not, well...
If it makes the police more effective at their jobs, so they can be more effective, then I wish the best for then. If used as a way to cut numbers of police on the streets, then it's being used in the wrong way.
