A Lewisham Council cabinet member, Hau-Yu Tam, is reported to have shared a map on social media that indicates the precise location of a Metropolitan Police “live facial recognition” (LFR) van. The reports say the map, posted under Tam’s accounts, identifies where an LFR vehicle is deployed, effectively informing people in the area when the technology is operating. The articles describe the post as drawing criticism, including from commentators who argue that publishing the van’s location could help individuals avoid or evade police monitoring. The reports frame the matter as a potential public concern about the disclosure of police operational details related to surveillance technology. The accounts cited do not provide additional independent confirmation of the map’s accuracy beyond the fact that it was shared publicly. The reports focus on the councillor’s posting itself and the resulting debate over whether location information about police surveillance assets should be publicly released.
