>LFR was trialled at the carnival in 2016 and 2017 but was ditched after it wrongly flagged 102 people as potential suspects.

The problem with NHC is that too many people attend.
Every bank holiday weekend is a nightmare in that area. It’s not just that it attracts criminals – it’s the people urinating on your front door or littering that makes it unpleasant for some local residents.

Whether it’s effective or not, it seems that live facial recognition could be coming to more public places in London soon. Already being trialled for tube stations to catch fare dodgers, apparently:
Is there any sort of consultancy / legal hurdles for implementing this sort of surveillance?

Oh goody, that’s not dystopian at all… perhaps we could have some sort of system where you get, I dunno, credit or something, for behaving like the government want you to and we could like tie it to whether people can access goods and services… that seems like a great way to a healthy society!
