Romford London 14th February 2019. The second of the Metropolitan Police trials, outside Romford railway station, of the controversial live face recognition technology has taken place. It attracted international media interest with camera crews from Al Jazeera, Japan and France, among others, covering the trial. The facial recognition cameras scan passing pedestrians and if any of them are on a police "watch list" they will be stopped. The last trial at Romford resulted in five arrests.
