Facial recognition cameras used by cops ‘only work properly with white men’ and misidentify innocent people as criminalsBy Martin Beckford, Whitehall EditorHI-TECH facial recognition cameras used by police can lead to innocent ethnic minorities and women wrongly being arrested, MPs have warned.
Labour MP Kate Green said: “What is on the market is better at matching north European and south-east Asian males than other ethnic categories. They say it led to a black teenager in school uniform being stopped and fingerprinted after being wrongly identified by the facial recognition system. Scotland Yard has commissioned an evaluation of its trials of live facial recognition by Essex University, which will be published later this month.
