Labour's plans for predictive policing are full of the usual racism There is no way for predictive policing to be done in an ethical manner - punishing people for crimes that haven't happened is dystopian

There is no way for predictive policing to be done in an ethical manner. This approach inherently involves punishing individuals for crimes that have not yet occurred, creating a chilling and dystopian reality. #stopautomatedracism #automatedinjustice

Police start live facial recognition trial at London stations The British Transport Police initiative has been described by campaigners as "authoritarian".

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
It comes as little surprise to any of us that #BTP has deployed a facial recognition trial despite a landmark legal challenge in the High Court and despite knowing the technology's harms. This is #automatedinjustice in action. This is #automatedracism.

Suspicion by design: How AI and section 60 are reshaping everyday policing Both algorithmic and section 60 policing have well-documented racial biases and abuses. Now, newer technologies such as AI and LFR add another layer, argues Tom Dixon

"As we approach 2026, this convergence of AI and section 60 continues to dig a deep accountability vacuum" #WeCopWatch #automatedinjustice

The rise of algorithmic technologies like live facial recognition may exacerbate the very issues that stop-and-search regulations seek to address. #AutomatedInjustice #AutomatedRacism

Avon and Somerset Police are being held to account for use of technology they should never have been given access to at all. The constabulary has risk scored over 364,000 people and have said nothing. It is #automatedinjustice. It is #automatedracism in action. #WeCopWatch
