Trial of live facial recognition in London stations leads to a false positive and no arrests | Facial recognition | The Guardian

Trial of live facial recognition in London train stations leads to a false positive and zero arrests:

A freedom of information document obtained by Liberty Investigates and shared with the Guardian shows that equipment hire and police staffing for the 18 deployments across the trial cost £320,786 and led to only one alert on a watchlist, which turned out to be an incorrect identification, also known as a false positive.
