New UK Police Cars Feature Facial Recognition Application

Vauxhall Ampera for UK's Police (Sun)
There is another camera inside, on the car roof, for facial recognition that is linked to the Police National Database.

The camera takes a picture of back seat "passengers" and within seconds reports on whether they have a criminal record. Amazingly, it can check through eight million records in a second.
I just snipped out the bit about facial recognition. If you're a car fanatic, you'll might want to click through.
