In several previous facial recognition deployments by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), innocent people not wanted by the police for any crime were put on police watchlists and targeted by facial recognition. For example, at Remembrance Sunday 2017, innocent people with mental health problems (so-called fixated individuals) were put on the police watchlist. Will the Mayor and the MPS commit to not targeting innocent people with mental health problems again with live facial recognition?

Could you clarify: (a) what constitutes serious crime (b) whether facial recognition technology will only be used on those wanted for serious crime within this definition, and (c) whether innocent people and those not wanted for serious crime will appear on facial recognition watchlists?
