I'm sure Londoners were consulted on this prior and given the chance to vote on whether they wanted these implemented /s

So it's back to these vans parked in front of stations again

A freedom of information document obtained by Liberty Investigates and shared with the Guardian shows that equipment hire and police staffing for the 18 deployments across the trial cost £320,786 and led to only one alert on a watchlist, which turned out to be an incorrect identification, also known as a false positive.

Aka a hallucination.

It's like minority report, except the precogs are all tripping balls

Good thing the police don't have guns, so the false positive didn't result in another dead black man.

You can tell it wasn't the US, bcs the false positive wasn't shot, posthumously charged with "resisting arrest without violence", and blamed for their own murder.

This might be a bit off topic but Edinburgh is better than London anyway.

And how many ex's were stalked by the police in that time?

what are the police there competent enough to not just throw the false positive person in prison for a month with no possible connection to any crime?

That's what happens when you're looking for a needle in a haystack.
