Hi Matt,

In the UK, as part of the two largest police trials of AFR systems, both
commissioned independent reports from academics - links to the pdf's below
for Cardiff and London Met Police.

Both reports highlight challenges based on the trials, particularly that
the AFR vendor appears to be overclaiming the accuracy of systems

Cheers
Chris
