Russia's 'Big Brother' facial recognition system goes on trial | Russia News | Al Jazeera

Activists in Russia, who are concerned at government plans for one of the world's largest facial recognition systems, are taking legal action.

Police say law-abiding Russians have nothing to fear.
Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen has been given exclusive access to police headquarters in Moscow.
