Facial recognition trial at London stations flags one false positive in 500,000 scans
Original: 500k facial scans at UK stations yield no arrests, 1 false positive

The Guardian reports the results are intensifying debate over the effectiveness and civil liberties implications of police facial recognition technology in public spaces.
