oatmealThe #BBC report includes no data that casts doubt on the #Met's findings despite prior research contradicting claims presented exist. It’s a press release, not news.

The BBC simply presents the police's statistics: 173 arrests, 10.5% crime reduction, 21% VAWG reduction, 1 false alert, without any independent audit data, methodological critique, bias statistics, or counter-studies.
For instance, a Cambridge study found no deterrence effect, the NPL bias report showing 100–248× higher false positive rates for non-white faces, or documented wrongful arrests.
[…] Overall Conclusions
Taken together, the studies suggest that:
• Live Facial Recognition can identify wanted individuals with high accuracy when used under appropriate conditions.
• Mistaken identifications appear to be very rare in operational deployments.
• The technology identifies some demographic groups more successfully than others, which raises questions about fairness that require continued monitoring.
• Crime deterrence effects were not observed in this study.
• Because #LFR scans very large numbers of people to identify a small number of suspects, decisions about its use should carefully consider issues of proportionality, transparency and oversight.
