> Supermarkets in the UK point cameras at your face at self-checkout. I have some sympathy for this as shoplifting is getting worse. Also, an acquaintance of mine works as a security guard at a Tesco and was attacked and injured with a syringe earlier this year, luckily he's ok but they haven't caught the attacker. The cameras at the time did not have facial recognition, though I can't judge if that would have made a difference. Thieves might ignore checkout completely, but there are also cameras capturing everyone entering and leaving the shop.
