Last year, we revealed police had requested to use this tech at biased settings to get more potential matches Alvi's case is the human impact of that. He said officers laughed when he asked if he looked anything like the burglary suspect caught on CCTV theguardian.com/technology/202…

Alvi Choudhury was arrested and held for 11 hours over a burglary in a town he’s never been to. Why? Because he was flagged by facial recognition tech Great to see our work at @LInvestigates get picked up so widely in the last week theguardian.com/technology/202…

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Police forces rejected safeguards designed to reduce racial and gender bias in the UK’s national facial recognition system. The reason? Forces were unhappy that a less biased version of the technology produced fewer investigative leads. 🧵
