Human rights regulator criticises Met's use of facial recognition cameras

The UK's equality regulator criticizes the Metropolitan Police's use of live facial recognition technology, stating it breaches human rights laws. The Met has made over 1,000 arrests using this tech, but the Equality and Human Rights Commission argues that it should only be used when necessary and proportionate. The EHRC will intervene in a judicial review into the Met's use of facial recognition technology, emphasizing the need for clear rules and appropriate safeguards.
