Rail police spent £320,000 on face scans, found no suspects

British Transport Police's six-month trial scanned over 500,000 faces at London railway stations, generating only one false alert. The system used nearly 100 hours of police time and cost more than £320,000, with no correct matches or arrests. Despite this, the scheme's duration has been prolonged to November, and its scope now encompasses the London Underground.
