LONDON (AP) — A British court has ruled that a police force's trial of automated facial recognition technology is lawful, dealing a blow to an activist concerned about its implications for privacy.

The court said Wednesday that existing laws adequately cover the trial by the South Wales police force, in what's believed to be the world's first legal case on how a law enforcement agency uses the new technology.
