San Francisco bans facial recognition technology

  • Reference: 2019/12039
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2019
In May 2019, San Francisco, one of the most technology-friendly cities in the world, announced a complete ban on the police use of facial recognition. The San Francisco city legislature announced the ban on the basis that police use of facial recognition was so fundamentally invasive and inherently likely to endanger civil rights and civil liberties that it should never be used. Will you follow this leading example and prevent the use of intrusive and authoritarian police facial recognition in London?

  • Reference: 2019/12038
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2019
Campaigners tell me that HS2 Ltd is creating barriers to cycling, where a rebuilt bridge is proposed at Old Oak Common leaving it too narrow to permit cycleways. Will you use your influence via Transport for London (TfL) and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) to deliver protected cycle facilities along the length of Old Oak Common Lane and ensure any works by HS2 Ltd, local boroughs and other developers support this?

Thank you for your answer to my question 2018/3044, in which you told me that you had delivered 11.5 km of properly protected cycle lanes as superhighways with 30 km of protected space across the Quietway and Mini Hollands programme.
