Live Facial Recognition to be used on Coronation crowds.

2 aspects strike me about this story:

A) The Met obviously think being an anti-monarchist signifies you may be willing to engage in other protests on the future. I don’t buy that this is a fishing trip to pick up those with previous convictions…its about populating database for future.

B) King approved it.
