WESTMINSTER, LONDON—Explaining to the London Policing Board Sunday that while the technology is “effective,” Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said that live facial recognition was not used at a recent far-right protest because it can only recognise minorities. “It's really important we're deploying it where there's an intelligence basis to do so, that's one of the safeguards. That you're not using it as a mass surveillance tool. You're using it in particular places where there is intelligence to say there is a person of colour nearby that might make some white guy upset because of their presence,” said the Met Chief to the board regarding the recent Unite the Kingdom protest organised by far-right figure and massive dickhead Tommy Robinson, in which the Met did not use LFR technology due to a “distinct lack” of minorities at the protest. “Look, we’re the Met, we’re famous for one thing and one thing only; rampant, never-ending racism and sexism. Our officers will happily murder a vulnerable woman like Sarah Everard, or not properly investigate the murder of Stephen Lawrence. It’s only natural that our mass surveillance tech would have a habit of signalling out minorities and other vulnerable groups while allowing racist white guys to attack our own officers with just a slap on the wrist.” Sir Rowley went on to say that the servers that run LFR had faced issues when trying to identify U.S. President Donald Trump, with his face being too orange for the technology to understand if Trump was a person or the Annoying Orange. At press time, Sir Rowley clarified that LFR would also flag anyone wearing clothes that could signal support for proscribed direct action group Palestine Action by giving them a five-star wanted level.
