BEIJING: China will use face-recognition technology to scan the crowd for hooligans and hopes the system can protect the 2008 Summer Olympics from fan violence, the official Xinhua news agency said on Thursday. The devices — to be set up at stadium entrances — will be able to identify someone catalogued in the police database even if they wear heavy make-up, Xinhua said, citing Liu Xuechao, a senior police officer with the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. The report said that police have already started compiling a database of hooligans. From March 1, a new set of anti-hooligan regulations will also allow police to ban violent fans from games for up to a year, Xinhua said. A draft version of the law had also included detention of up to five days and fines of up to $ 24 for violators. — AP
