What the debate was about

Auto-generated

The fact that the only parking offence to attract penalty points is dangerous parking, which is parking that could cause a risk to moving traffic, is an example of that definition. Amendment No. 46 inserts a new section specifying that facial recognition technology may not be used in any cameras operated by the road authority, nor may any data from the cameras be processed later using FRT, either by the road authority or a third party.

The definition for cameras has been extended to include "other data-gathering devices" The definition of "data-gathering device" proposed by amendment No. 36 is extraordinarily vague, wide and dangerous: "‘data-gathering device’ means any device, apparatus or equipment used or capable of being used for the gathering of data”.
