London police fine pedestrian £90 over facial recognition camera row

Police and security services worldwide are keen to use facial recognition technology to bolster their efforts to fight crime and identify suspects. The Metropolitan Police hopes live facial recognition technology will help reduce crime, especially violent incidents, and could be used as a tactic to deter people from offending. Last December, a suspect was arrested by the Metropolitan Police during a trial of the facial recognition technology among Christmas shoppers at Leicester Square in London’s West End.
