That is not even close to error free. 89% is really bad actually.

  Those are numbers claimed by the UK, the company behind it claims an order of magnitude over it with proper data (airport-level full face scans). Even 89% isn't that bad imho, recognizing the overabundant majority of a population with random cameras that don't require the user to pose or assume specific positions is..quite something.

    Its kinda of bad when factoring in the consequences for being misidentified. Getting misidentified can cost you your life. It can cause you months of time and legal fees to disprove. It can waste police resources and erode public trust. And I trust the UK police data far far more than the company. Every company says they are 99% accurate.

  It's the other number. 89% of queries result in a match, and of those the error rate is 0.02%
