"The judges stated that 'in the context of promoting law and order in a large metropolis, the policy provides the claimants with an adequate indication of the circumstances in which LFR will be used and enables them to foresee, to a degree that is reasonable in the circumstances, the consequences of travelling in an area of London where LFR is in use.'"
"'The risk and potential scope for discrimination on grounds of race was no more than faintly asserted,' the judges concluded, affirming that the claimants' human rights had not been breached."
"'The courts have confirmed our approach is lawful. The public supports its use. It works. And it helps us keep Londoners safe,' said Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley."
Two individuals lost a High Court challenge against the Metropolitan Police regarding live facial recognition technology in London. The claimants expressed concerns about potential arbitrary and discriminatory use of the technology. The court ruled that the policy was lawful and provided adequate notice of its use. The judges found no significant evidence of discrimination and stated that the claimants' human rights were not violated. The Metropolitan Police plans to expand the use of facial recognition technology significantly, which was deemed a victory for public safety.
