London’s Met Police has admitted it did not use controversial facial recognition technology for the UK’s biggest ever fascist-organised demonstration.
Saturday 13 September saw tens of thousands gather in London for far-right leader Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom protest.
Officers have been asked if it’s using ‘live facial recognition’ – we can confirm it is not.
