I understand that Transport for West Midlands share body-worn video of those travellers who abuse and assault their staff, and who evade fares. The police then run these images through facial recognition software to identify perpetrators, who are often already known by or wanted by them. Is this practice also adopted by TfL and the British Transport Police/Metropolitan Police or are there any plans to do so? If this practice is already adopted, what have been the results?
