Police are scanning the faces of shoppers in a controversial facial recognition technology trial in Oxford Circus.

Protesters from Big Brother Watch and Liberty turned up on Thursday afternoon to alert shoppers to the trial they called “oppressive and inaccurate”.

Scotland Yard is seeking actors to take part in the scheme that the force say will help them to “prevent and detect crime and find wanted criminals”.

A casting call posted online and seen by The Standard, reads: “We are looking for a huge crowd of people.

“This is an exercise on behalf of the Police, scientific research to test the capability of the cameras to recognise people’s faces.

“The results of the study will help the Metropolitan Police Service fulfil their Public Sector Equality Duties regarding the uses of facial recognition.”

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: “Live Facial Recognition (LFR) technology is used to prevent and detect crime, find wanted criminals, safeguard vulnerable people, and to protect people from harm.
