Metropolitan Police's facial recognition technology 98% inaccurate, figures show
'Intrinsically Orwellian' systems must be scrapped, campaigners say as biometrics commissioner brands them 'not yet fit for use'

Silkie Carlo, director of the Big Brother Watch pressure group, which is to launch a campaign on the issue on Tuesday, said: β€œIt is alarming and utterly reckless that police are using a technology that is almost entirely inaccurate, that they have no legal power for, and that poses a major risk to basic democratic freedoms. It must be dropped.”

Crystal meth found at Home Office headquarters as Sajid Javid boasts about sniffer dogs' prowess
Third time class A's have been discovered there in six months

When Sajid Javid was announced as home secretary last month, he lost no time in posing with a sniffer dog and promising to be tough on drugs.

It appears the message did not make it around his department.

Police were called to the Home Office after a stash of crystal meth and a smoking pipe were found in a disabled toilet there – just four days after Mr Javid took over.
