"Turn It Off, Sarge, It's Doing The Job Too Well! "

Essex Police has paused the use of live facial recognition cameras (LFR) after a study found they identified more black people than other ethnic groups.

Identified them incorrectly? No, dear Reader, not at all: 

The cameras are mounted on vans and designed to identify people on watchlists if they pass by.They found it correctly identified around half of those on the watchlist, and that it was "extremely rare" for someone to be flagged up if they weren't on the list.

So, it worked. The only problem was, it highlighted how many criminals are black. and in today's modern police farce, that's a crime in itself. 

But the study found it was "statistically significantly more likely" to correctly identify black people than other ethnicities. It was also "more likely" to spot men than women.

Well, these days, so many men are pretending to be women, its hardly a surprise!
