In Karachi, a motorcycle rider was chased down by an Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV) after an alert went off due to a facial recognition technology designed to surveil the movements of absconders and other individuals holding a criminal record. Upon encounter, the targeted individual- Mr Abdul Azeem- was arrested due to six prior bookings relating to attempted murder, ownership of unlicensed weapons, and terrorism. This appears to be the first successful use of facial recognition technology for policing purposes in Karachi, and sets an intriguing precedent for surveillance in public spaces for Pakistani citizens.
