Met Police deployed live facial recognition vans in Wandsworth last week enraging the public and privacy rights campaigners.
Big Brother Watch’s Madeleine Stone said:
“Live facial recognition turns London streets into AI-powered police line-ups, with innocent members of the public being subject to biometric identity checks.
“Papering over the cracks of a creaking policing system with intrusive surveillance technology is no solution to London’s criminal justice crisis.”
