Urgently stop the Metropolitan Police using live facial recognition surveillance.
Why is this important?
The Metropolitan Police has announced it will use live facial recognition across London, despite an independent review finding its previous trials "likely unlawful" and over 80% inaccurate. The Met is the largest police force in the democratic world to roll out this dangerously authoritarian surveillance. This represents an enormous expansion of the surveillance state and a serious threat to civil liberties in the UK - and it sets a dangerous precedent worldwide. We urge the Home Secretary and Met Commissioner to stop it now.
