Live facial recognition (#LFR) was not used to police the #UniteTheKingdom rally in #London. No "intelligence basis" for it, #MetropolitanPolice Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told #LondonPolicingBoard.
Rowley was challenged on the difference in approach at #NottingHillCarnival, when LFR was used.

Rowley reckoned that #Carnival was more dangerous than a #fascist #racist rally. 😡

Same, it seems, with the #DefendOurJuries protest. 😡

#MetPol needs new leaders. #Scary
