“Dystopian” Police.AI Launches in UK Amid False Arrests

He has company. Colin McMahon, a 59-year-old roofer, was #handcuffed on Harlesden High Street by the Metropolitan #Police after a #camera linked him to a £300 furniture #theft from Ikea.

There was a small problem with that allegation though. He was running an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting ten miles away at the time, and a magistrate later acquitted him.

The evidence that justified hauling him to court? Court documents show officers noted he had “the same glasses, similar facial features, a skinny body structure and similar white shoes” as the #suspect.
