I’m loathed to post this as it just seems like someone saying ridiculous things to get coverage. But Musk now talks about his robots following offenders around to stop them re-offending. Like a prison guard for the naughty humans. https://www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-tesla-robots-prevent-future-crime-11028660 #musk #robotuprising #PreCrime

We're in a cost of living crisis and Labour wants to bring in digital ID cards for everyone 🤡 They're risking turning the UK into a pre-crime state where we constantly have to prove who we are to go about our daily lives.

Wow AI minority report crime mapping - as we all know the problem with crime is a lack of detection. Local residents don’t know where it’s happening! https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ai-to-help-police-catch-criminals-before-they-strike#AI #crime #precrime

"At their heart, these technologies infringe human rights."
Last week @sianberry tabled an amendment to the UK Crime and Policing Bill that would prohibit the use and deployment of dangerous 'crime-predicting' police tech.
These systems will subject overpoliced communities to more surveillance. More discrimination. More injustice.

Crime 'prediction' police tech is how a surveillance state embeds itself into the everyday 👁️
Without committing a crime, you can be branded a threat.
Without access to redress, you can be punished.
Without transparency, you may never know how injustice happened.
We need #SafetyNotSurveillance

We have the right to be presumed innocent, not predicted guilty.
Our liberties mustn't be taken away in an unjust game of probability based on flawed police data.
Sign and share our petition to BAN crime 'predicting' police tech in the UK.

'Predictive' policing systems can lead to unjust stop-and-search in an effective digital sus law.
Joint enterprise is already used to bring conspiracy charges against people who've committed no crime.
And then there's the UK's chilling Homicide Prediction Project 🤯

Police tech 'predicts' crime by location or individual 🤖
"Crime hotspots" targets poorer neighbourhoods, while "gang" or "gang-affiliated" are a dog whistle for young Black men and boys.
People are criminalised for where they live, who they hang out with, or for matching a biased data profile.
#policing #AI #precrime #justice #criminal #police #ukpol #ukpolitics #surveillance
Algorithms that claim to 'predict' crime are only as 'objective' as the data they're fed.
With crime data reflecting decades of racist and discriminatory policing, the tech will just say to deploy resources in the same way.
It becomes a self-fulfilling feedback loop.
Bad Cops: Rinse and Repeat.

Outlook not so good 🎱
Police tech doesn’t predict crime. It predicts policing.
Based on biased data, it brings more of the same – racist policing and poverty punishment.
