The cameras will be in use for five to six hours at a time, with bespoke lists of suspects wanted for serious and violent crimes drawn up each time.
Police say the cameras identified 70% of suspects but an independent review found much lower accuracy.
Privacy campaigners said it was a "serious threat to civil liberties".

I've got no problem with this I don't think. It's just automating one aspect of police officers' jobs (recognising wanted criminals) but in a far more efficient and cost-effective way. Would the Statue of Liberty weep if this were rolled out in the states?
In China they don’t just use CCTV for this. Apparently they’ve developed clear goggles with projection display for police officers that contains a camera and an air data link. As the officer looks around what he sees is relayed by camera and data link to some central computer, which applies facial recognition and identify the people the policeman sees, and sends back detailed ID and data on each person, which are than projected onto the officer’s google so he sees each person around him with a floating data bubble over their heads. Suspects and what they are suspected of are automatically identified.
Replace the policeman too and the journey to sky net shall be complete.
