In recent times, crime in urban areas is increasing more and more exponentially. Whereas at first, national policies were concerned with the repression of crime, today the action is directed towards its prevention and neutralisation.Therefore, new tools are emerging to help the police in this delicate task, including facial recognition, i.e. the set of AI applications that allow to perform analyses on the biometric features of a person's face and compare them with the subjects' features entered in a database, as well as to store them.There are many critical issues, especially the lack of legislation to reconcile security requirements and fundamental rights, which lead to the opacity of the tool.
