The Metropolitan Police say they are using Live Facial Recognition (LFR) technology across London to identify people who are wanted for criminal offences. The Daily Mail reports that, during operations involving new LFR cameras, officers found multiple suspects after the system matched faces in public. According to the outlet, seven people were arrested after the technology contributed to detecting matches, after which officers moved to handcuff the suspects. The report describes the police approach as targeting individuals wanted by the force and frames the arrests as part of a wider effort to use the technology to locate suspects across the capital. The reporting emphasizes the sequence of events from public presence to subsequent detention by officers following the LFR match, but it does not provide further detail on the exact locations, types of offences linked to each person, or the full procedural checks associated with each match. Overall, the sources agree that LFR camera use is being employed by the Met in operational settings and is linked to arrests of suspected or wanted individuals.
