00:00The tech does have a certain degree of bias baked into it that's improved
00:04slowly over the years but it does still get it wrong and we know that it's less
00:08accurate when scanning black faces. This is one of the reasons that we've
00:11expressed concern over the the Mets announcement that it will be using this
00:15technology at the Notting Hill Carnival the weekend after next. But there's also
00:19a fundamental concern from a privacy rights perspective. We don't think that
00:23innocent people should constantly have their biometrics captured when they're
00:28going about their everyday lives. It reverses the presumption of innocence
00:31really. It treats us as a nation of suspects. So when people say nothing to
00:36hide, nothing to fear, we kind of reject that because it is treating us all as
00:40guilty until proven otherwise. That's quite a fundamental civil liberties issue.
