Man gets fined £90 after he covered his in front of a camera on the streets of London

COPS have fined a pedestrian £90 for covering his face as he walked past a controversial facial recognition camera.

The software - which cross-checks photos of pedestrians against a database of wanted criminals - recently came under fire after incorrectly identifying members of the public in a staggering 96 per cent of cases. "How would you like it if you walked down the street and someone grabbed your shoulder? You wouldn't like it, would you?"

He said: "The chap told me down the road - he said they've got facial recognition. So I walked past like that .
