According to the Metropolitan Police Service advice and information webpage on the live facial recognition technology trial ( https://www.met.police.uk/live-facial-recognition-trial/): “Anyone can refuse to be scanned; it’s not an offence or considered ‘obstruction’ to actively avoid being scanned.” However, witnesses at the live facial recognition technology trial in Romford town centre in January 2019 reported that several people were stopped after covering their faces or pulling up hoods ( https://bit.ly/2EOEOZE). Do you share my concern that innocent people objecting to the use of this technology by covering their faces were stopped and treated as potential suspects?
