London's Metropolitan Police Service will be testing facial recognition technology in a handful of locations across the central core of the British capital on both Monday and Tuesday for eight hours each day.

This trial marks the seventh such trial in London since 2016. In addition to the December 17-18 tests, authorities have said there will be three more tests that have yet to be scheduled.

Time to break out the Guy Fawkes masks, Londoners.

    Do you have to wear clothes under the Burqa? It would make it easier to moon the cameras.

    Once they've got the face recognition working to their satisfaction, they're going to implement buttock recognition.

      Genitals are as unique and varied as faces.

        As varied as mutilated faces, considering what Muslims do to their female children's genitals.
