  1. The #BBC report includes no data that casts doubt on the #Met's findings despite prior research contradicting claims presented exist. It’s a press release, not news.

    bbc.com/news/articles/cddpzglz

    The BBC simply presents the police's statistics: 173 arrests, 10.5% crime reduction, 21% VAWG reduction, 1 false alert, without any independent audit data, methodological critique, bias statistics, or counter-studies.

    For instance, a Cambridge study found no deterrence effect, the NPL bias report showing 100–248× higher false positive rates for non-white faces, or documented wrongful arrests.

    […] Overall Conclusions

    Taken together, the studies suggest that:

    • Live Facial Recognition can identify wanted individuals with high accuracy when used under appropriate conditions.

    • Mistaken identifications appear to be very rare in operational deployments.

    • The technology identifies some demographic groups more successfully than others, which raises questions about fairness that require continued monitoring.

    • Crime deterrence effects were not observed in this study.

    • Because #LFR scans very large numbers of people to identify a small number of suspects, decisions about its use should carefully consider issues of proportionality, transparency and oversight.

  6. This was stupidly difficult to find. It's the results of #BigBrotherWatch and Shaun Thompson's appeal against #LFR technology in #London being judged invalid by the courts. NOBODY SAVED THIS BUT ME.

    All the news said the tech will now be rolled out across the entire country but none cited that either. #Palantir is trending on #Bluesky for their data leaks, so I wanted to clue you lot in to this as well.
