The question(s) to which you were seeking answers
How Law Enforcement utilise Face Recognition Technology.
Explain which reading techniques you used, explaining why they were used
Once I located my source, I was skimming through the article to gather overall information about the
topic that was discussed and to locate the parts which might be relevant to my subject. Once I
finished I started actively reading the parts that I found relevant to my question and gathering more
detailed information.
Itemise the key points in the source, relevant to your question/s
 Could help to find terrorists and criminals
 Troubling intrusion on privacy
 Little public oversight
 potential for abuse or error
Explain any examples of implicit meaning in the source, evaluating the effect and purpose of
implied meaning within it
“Few departments will discuss how — or sometimes if — they are using these tools” the article
implies that there is some sort of secrecy amongst departments about using those tools. As it was
already mentioned before that there is a potential for abuse or error, this implication might lead
straight to the conclusion that there must be something bad that those departments are hiding.
You should produce one of these grids for each of the three sources required for this
assignment.
Source title with references
