According to a recent report, approximately four out of five people identified by the London Metropolitan Police’s facial recognition system as possible suspects are totally innocent.
A recent report by Sky News has revealed that approximately four out of five people identified by the U.K.’s Metropolitan Police force’s as possible suspects are innocent. Researchers discovered that the system has an 81 percent inaccuracy rate which means that the vast majority of people flagged by the system are not on any wanted lists. The report states that this raises “significant concerns” about Scotland Yard’s use of the technology.
The report concludes that it is “highly possible” that the Met’s usage of the system would be found unlawful if challenged in court due to a number of technical, operational and legal issues. The Live Facial Recognition (LFR) system has been utilized since August 2016 by the Met to monitor crowds, testing the system first at Notting Hill Carnival.

It will not be very long before that facial recognition stuff is installed at every mall, traffic light, and government office doorway, complete with a cop and a gun close by.
Don't make any sudden moves, or your innocence will be being debated at your funeral.
Cop: "He put his sunglasses in his pocket when I approached him and it scared me so bad, I had to shoot him. 16 times. In front of his wife and 9 year old girl, but I SWEAR -- I didn't mean to kill the little girl, too!"
Other cops: "Good shoot!"
We, the people: But you killed an innocent man and a child"
Judge: "He shouldn't have scared the police officer, so it's "justified".
The stuff of revolutions.
Keep cheering.
And smile when you go outside. Just don't look up, either.
Or, according to a recent report, approximately one out of five people identified by the London Metropolitan Police’s facial recognition system as possible suspects are not totally innocent.
