The commissioner of London's Met Police has insisted the public "expect" cops to trial the facial recognition tech that is subject to two legal challenges in the UK – while admitting she doesn’t expect its use to result in “lots of arrests”.

In a hearing at the London Assembly today, Cressida Dick, Metropolitan Police commissioner, aimed to assuage concerns about the increasing use of automated facial recognition (AFR) technology by her force.
