The London Metropolitan Police has admitted that their facial recognition software has been a unsuccessful because no one has been arrested when they ran a trial of facial recognition technology. The Independent has revealed that the facial recognition was meant to be implemented across London by the end of this year. The method was meant to be used for identifying wanted violent criminals and arresting them. During the trial observers saw only one person got identified as a known suspect.
While the observers did not see how many people got questioned by the facial recognition system Scotland Yard has confirmed that they were no arrests by using the facial recognition system. The superintendent Bernie Galopin advised that;
“This deployment formed an important part of ongoing trials and a full review of its use will take place once they have been completed.
Hannah Couchman is an advocacy and policy officer at Liberty who has monitored the Thursdays trial and had access to the Met's operation room said that they had a single match in two hours of deployment.
When the man was detected the officers have talked to the man and communicated with the colleagues to make sure that he is not the suspect who has been flagged as the potential match. Ms Couchman also said that what has happened was quite frustrating for all the department.
