The Metropolitan Police are expanding a trial of facial recognition technology to at least six locations across London in the coming months I was at yesterday's pilot in Stratford, where most people seemed oblivious to the operationhttps://ind.pn/2KjXtkk
I'm very sceptical about the efficacy of this technology. however in my view it's symptomatic of wider changes in society which are pushing policing - esp in London - towards a model that is more authoritarian, impersonal and automated.
