Documents obtained by Big Brother Watch reveal that Essex Police has not effectively evaluated the discriminatory impacts of its live facial recognition (LFR) deployment. While the police claimed to have conducted a thorough equality impact assessment, the findings suggest a failure to fulfill their public sector equality duty. The analysis questions the force's reliance on misleading algorithmic comparisons and highlights that Essex is using Corsight's algorithm without adequate justification of its bias performance, raising concerns about privacy and algorithmic justice in policing practices.
