The Metropolitan Police is to begin using its controversial live facial recognition (LFR) technology on a standard basis, despite concerns about the impact of the surveillance software and its legality. In a statement on Friday the force's assistant commissioner, Nick Ephgrave, said the Met was making the technology "operational" following 10 trials across the capital. Civil society groups, academics and successive independent biometrics commissioners have warned that the legal regime surrounding the use of technology is lacking, and that the technology itself could leave the UK like a "surveillance state". Mr Ephgrave said: "This is an important development for the Met and one which is vital in assisting us in bearing down on violence. "As a modern police force, I believe that we have a duty to use new technologies to keep people safe in London. "We are using a tried-and-tested technology, and have taken a considered and transparent approach in order to arrive at this point," Mr Ephgrave added. The Met's senior technologist, Johanna Morley, repeated the force's claims that a false alert on the system was only triggered 0.1% of the time - that is only one person for every 1,000 whose faces were scanned by the police cameras were inaccurately flagged as belonging to a suspect on the police watch list. However, this claim has been described as misleading by an independent report into the force's use of the technology, commissioned by the Met itself and revealed by Sky News, which found the technology was actually 81% inaccurate. Ms Morley's figures do not account for false negatives, but also misrepresent the number of false positives compared to accurate positives. Ms Morley had previously acknowledged to Sky News that the force would have to invest significantly in its back-end technology systems to ensure its use of the technology was legal if a decision was made to go forward with it. It is not clear whether this has been done. The police use of facial images are not covered by the same laws which regulate how police can handle and process DNA and fingerprints. The former biometrics watchdog, Alastair MacGregor QC, warned that the police had created enormous databases of facial images without "public or parliamentary consultation or debate". Parliamentary committees have called for the use of the technology to be paused until it can be put on statutory footing, but both the Met and the UK's data watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office, have said that using the technology is lawful. The chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation was criticised last year after praising the use of LFR in China as "absolutely correct" and "spot on" while the au
