Calls today from the Maori Party for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into racial profiling of tangata whenua by police. It comes off the back of an RNZ investigation which found seven Māori whānau had rangatahi stopped by police and their photograph taken. The Police Commissioner Andrew Coster denies the police are using facial recognition technology to profile young Māori. Karyn speaks with Associate Professor, Nessa Lynch, who has led a New Zealand Law Foundation-funded research project into facial recognition technology.
