It is not uncommon for us to have a picture of the likely perpetrator, but then not find him or her, says Petra Lundh to Ekot.
A bill on real-time facial recognition has been ready for a while and follows the EU's new rules on facial recognition that were voted through last summer. But it needs to be complemented.
According to the EU rules, it will be permitted to use facial recognition to search for individuals suspected of serious crimes that can lead to four years' imprisonment or more.
On the question of whether a new law would mean that personal integrity is further violated, Lundh believes that the law can be temporary.
There is nothing preventing us from, when things calm down in society, also then being able to roll back legislation and other things. It is actually possible to do, says Lundh in the interview.
