Revised summary of a news article. Article 2 – Metropolitan Police Force use of Facial Recognition Technology.
A research conducted by professors on the use of facial recognition technology for crowd monitoring by the Metropolitan police force has exposed issues such as invasion of privacy, lack of accuracy and failure to obtain a real consent from the public. Additionally, there are also concerns about the validity of the people on the watch list and suspicions of creep surveillance by the police. Despite being challenged in court by human rights groups to refrain from using this technology, the police still intend to use this technology in an upcoming public event with an estimated attendance of 200,000 people.
