Riot investigations: Police trial facial recognition on suspects

UK police forces are reportedly trialling facial recognition systems in a bid to catch rioters. The main software is located at the Metropolitan Police’s New Scotland Yard headquarters.

Police forces across the UK began posting images of suspects, from CCTV and from members of the public, on the internet last week. The police initially faced some criticism for not being quick enough to tackle the riots, after many incidents were found to have been planned publicly on BlackBerry Messenger, Twitter and Facebook.”]
