Facial recognition at South Wales derby 'a step too far', says police chief

North Wales police and crime commissioner criticises plans for Cardiff and Swansea clash

Arfon Jones, a veteran Welsh police officer and the North Wales police and crime commissioner, has expressed grave concern about the deployment of the surveillance technology at Sunday's clash between Cardiff City and Swansea City.
