BBC Click published a video about a facial recognition trial conducted in East London by the Metropolitan Police. One day of the trial resulted in 3 arrests of suspects identified by the system. Alarmingly, the video also shows a passerby who covered his face in protest of being scanned being charged with disordly behaviour and issued with a £90 fine!
