‘I shouldn’t have to prove I am innocent,’ said man misidentified by Sainsbury’s staff using Facewatch system

A man was ordered to leave a supermarket in London after staff misidentified him using controversial new facial recognition technology.

Warren Rajah was told to abandon his shopping and leave the local store he has been using for 15 years after an “Orwellian” error in a Sainsbury’s in Elephant and Castle, London.
