The European legal framework is not devoid of norms that are directly or indirectly applicable to facial recognition technology for identification purposes within law enforcement. However, these various norms, which have different targets and are from multiple sources, create a kind of legal patchwork that could undermine the lawful use of this technology in criminal investigations. This paper advocates the creation of a specific law on the use of facial recognition technology for identification in law enforcement, based on existing regulations, to specifically address the pressing issues arising in this domain. The ultimate aim is to allow its use under certain conditions and to protect the rights of the people involved, but also to provide law enforcement authorities with the necessary tools to combat serious crimes.

欧洲法律框架并不缺乏直接或间接适用于面部识别技术的规范，以用于执法中的识别目的。然而，这些具有不同目标且来自多个来源的各种规范造成了一种法律拼凑，可能会破坏该技术在刑事调查中的合法使用。本文主张在现有法规的基础上，制定一部关于在执法中使用人脸识别技术进行身份识别的具体法律，以具体解决该领域出现的紧迫问题。最终目的是允许其在特定条件下使用并保护相关人员的权利，同时也为执法当局提供打击严重犯罪的必要工具。
