[UK] Live facial recognition cameras may become ‘commonplace’ as police use soars
(libertyinvestigates.org.uk)
I’m immune compromised. I wear an N95 mask whenever I go out. Sometimes to change things up, I’ll draw a smiley (or other) mouth on it with felt tip markers. Just need to work out how to disguise everything above the mask in a way that doesn’t look like a deliberate disguise.
Drink once if they ban face coverings because of this.
Drink twice if they somehow link it to hijabs and burqas in a skewed bid to "win back Reform voters".
Down your drink if they fuck up and do it around the time of the next pandemic.
Time for assassin's creed hoods.
Perhaps balaclavas will become common place in response, at least in public places.
Hoodie, snoo type thing, and an electric bike are standard uniform at this point.
Get cosmetic surgery to look like the prime minister. Do crime.
