Live Facial Recognition

Police will use live facial recognition technology for the first time at Appleby Horse Fair, a traditional event attracting thousands of travelers annually.

London's Metropolitan Police Service has successfully used static live facial recognition cameras to secure an arrest every 35 minutes, with 173 arrests made over six months. The technology helped identify serious offenders and those who had evaded law enforcement for decades. This trial has shown the effectiveness of live facial recognition in keeping London safe.

Live facial recognition technology is being used by police and retailers to fight crime and shoplifting, but it raises concerns about surveillance in public spaces. The technology is not always accurate and will expand surveillance into more areas. Retailers from supermarkets to corner shops are adopting the technology.

Judges ruled that Scotland Yard can continue using live facial recognition technology in London, allowing the Metropolitan Police Service to proceed with its expansion of the system. The decision came after a legal challenge argued the technology violated human rights laws.
