We have put the Delhi Police to notice calling on it to urgently stop it’s facial recognition system. It is illegal and unconstitutional. 1/n

This notice has been spurred on the basis of yesterday’s @IndianExpress report by @mazoomdaar. We have discovered more detail on several alarming assertions which are linked in detail within this thread. 2/n

@IndianExpress @mazoomdaar There is *zero* legal basis to this Facial Recognition system. Limited support (which we dispute) is from a Delhi HC case that considers it for reuniting missing children. Actually, the Hon’ble Judges express concerns. Screenshots attached. 3/n
@IndianExpress @mazoomdaar This system has seen a function creep and it will creep further! The Delhi Police as per its annual report intends to use it not only for missing children but at public gatherings. Not only protests. But "crowded spaces" like railway stations. 4/n

@IndianExpress @mazoomdaar Who is the vendor? As per the @indianexpress report it is Innefu Labs. This is confirmed from Innefus’s website. They also claim predictive policing technologies labelled as, “Prophecy”. We urge you to browse through it. 5/n

@IndianExpress @mazoomdaar Researchers such as @vidushimarda + public technologists @digitaldutta have reasoned facial recognition as unreliable, threatening and invasive. Their use is being prevented in law enforcement globally. We, should heed their caution. 6/n
