BiometricUpdate.com 19/6/2026 News Europol is going rogue – so Brussels is doubling its budget? Keeping double books, operating in legally-murky areas to escape scrutiny, influencing governments to change laws so their illegal activities are legalised – these aren’t just plot points from The Sopranos or another mob thriller but seemingly the playbook of EU’s police agency. Europol might be tasked with dealing with organised crime but that hasn’t stopped it from following similar tactics as those they’re claiming to fight against.

Previous research on procedural justice and legitimacy has mostly focused on in-person police-community interaction. However, the increasing use of digital technologies by police has meant that more policing is done online and without face-to-face interaction with the public. Using facial recognition technology as an exemplar, this paper argues that adopting technologies using the pillars of procedural justice improves police legitimacy. Moreover, we make the case that the adoption of technologies is an act of dialogic legitimacy where police seek responses/consent from communities to guide further technology adoption.
