The Metropolitan Police didn’t bother to assess whether live facial recognition technology discriminated on the basis of race or gender before they conducted trials with it, according to a new report by think tank WebRoots Democracy. 

The Met Police trialled the technology between 2016 and 2019, during which time it had not carried out an Equality Impact Assessment – a document designed to identify the potential for discrimination against different groups.
