I was just a few minutes ago talking to my husband about my theory that in the near future AI will just constantly survey everyone and automatically ID and report anyone doing anything criminal š
Good excuse to keep wearing my halloween costume
Reminder that they regularly catch a number of wanted offenders, including sexual predators, with these.
A registered sex offender arrested for breaching his conditions
A woman wanted for assault by beating and common assault
A woman wanted for a pickpocketing offence in Enfield
A man wanted for common assault
A man wanted for fraud by false representation
A man wanted for theft
A man wanted for breaching a court order
A man wanted for breaching the conditions of his tag
A man wanted for breaching his restraining order
A man wanted for burglary
A man wanted for theft
A woman wanted for theft
A man wanted for threatening behaviour
A woman wanted for obstructing a constable
The arrests in Tooting were for:
A man wanted for racially aggravated harassment
A man wanted for breach of tag conditions
The force said that local officers provide “information and reassurance” during these deployments.
Big Brother Watch is a campaign group that does loads of work on this – their website has all the details. The Met are using it all across London now, really dystopian!Ā
Maybe they can share the pricks faces. I’m not very keen on being recorded and/or identified. Wondering if they keep any recordings.
Facial recognition cameras – basically targeted to find people who are *already registered within the system* so if you’ve never been caught for anything it can’t pick you up
Edit: Read the links in the comments, and clearly there’s evidence of racial bias in practice
I’m not concerned about this because I have nothing to hide!

Cannot wait to leave this Prison Island . . . . Every nation is introducing timed visas , keeping people locked into the nation they were born in. in 10 years I’ll be amazed if you can leave without permission, following an interview & a pint of blood. No other creature has this level of bullshit . . . brits love this dysopian bollocks.
such a spineless nation now & the police officers (aka Mr. Smith) really embrace their roles in helping to shape a nation into Hitlers dream.
dystopian
This is a good thing
Good, hopefully they will get rid of the scum that plagues London
Auditing Britain on yt speaks to the coppers doing this one day in Croydon.
They say the cameras may only need eyes to id. Though I imagine it’s more facial measurements.
The images are deleted after the system does its checks and doesn’t find anything.
I kinda see it as an infringement of our rights, even though it’s in public and ostensibly for the ‘public good’. It’s intrusion by state, oversight, and in the end, just passive policing.
It’s a digital gate authorising movement through the city, quite a medieval sort of concept.
Just wear contacts
Becoming like China
Not as accurate as human āsuper spottersā, look out for the socially awkward dude wearing a Snorkel jacket clutching a clipboard.
The amount of people screeching SURVEILLANCE therefore CHINA, completely missing the point that is the lack of democratic proceeding following surveillance that make China what it is really tells a lot
It should be a permanent fixture
Scaryā¦
Clearly the TV license van
As does this. It’s already pulling the wrong people and causing them to be harassed by police.
Hopefully they’ll do something about the balaclava wearing people snatching phones and working for deliveroo and UberĀ
Don’t see the issue with it tbh. If I’m a criminal then I do. If I don’t, oh no the police has a picture of my face! But I have a passport and driving licence..
I don’t understand why people think this is a bad thing?
I understand if it’s misused by the people in power it could potentially harm innocent people. However, this is quick (and cheap) way of catching wanted people and help others feel somewhat safer.
Maybe I’m missing something?
One of those things that would prevent crime in a utopian society where the government was 100% trustworthy, unfortunately we don’t live in a country with a a government I would trust to never become facist, so I can’t really advocate for this stuff
Yeah i see them in Catford all the time
If they are picking up for ridiculous stuff like “breaching a court order” (not otherwise specified) then you should be concerned.
I imagine the same people saying this is dystopian would also have been the same people complaining about the introduction of detectives, fingerprinting, DNA testing and all other technological advances.
You canāt really complain about high crime or the police being ineffective if youāre also going to complain about the police using new technology. Criminals arenāt hampered by public opinion when it comes to the sophistication of their means of operating so holding the police back gives criminals the advantage. Iād rather wanted criminals were caught than a bunch of moaners and grifters were appeased.
Doorbell cameras / home security cameras can do facial recognition now, too. Privacy being lost at every turn.

Dystopian, I dont care if it works. Humans should always review CCTV. Not a AI.
As long as it is the Met operating it , all the women on the street will feel safe and in no way surveilled
I do feel an unintended side effect of these is more people covering their face, which in turn makes the streets feel a lot in safer
