UK rail cops' £320K face-scanning spree nets zero matches

British Transport Police's £320,000 face-scanning pilot produced no correct matches.

British Transport Police spent more than £320,000 on a six-month live facial-recognition pilot that scanned more than 500,000 faces at London railway stations. Freedom of Information figures obtained by Liberty showed one alert, later found to be a false positive, and no arrests from a recognition alert. The NEC NeoFace M40 system compares passers-by with a watchlist and deletes non-matches, BTP says. The force extended the trial until November and onto the London Underground despite criticism that no specific facial-recognition law exists.
