Stop the Scan Campaign

Stop The Scan is a campaign to resist the extension of mobile biometrics used in police stop and search connected with Home Office data.

We have produced two reports on the use of the devices: our first report revealing the main concerns and perceptions around the use of the device; and the second report drawing attention to how police forces across the UK are using the device.

Reports:

1. Public perception of police fingerprint scanning [Link to the report]
2. Police use of mobile fingerprinting technology for immigration enforcement [ Link to the report]
