The UK government is planning to use a new camera system. These cameras will help check people for immigration reasons.

This system will find people who try to enter the UK without permission. It will also help find those who have stayed in the country for too long.

The cameras might appear at transport places and large public events. But the government says children under 18 will not be on these special lists.

The government is spending more money to find and remove people. Some groups are worried about privacy and if the cameras will be fair.

There is not a clear system to check how these cameras are used. Many people want new rules for this system in public places.
