Last week the Safety Not Surveillance coalition hit the streets of London.
We sent the message that so-called 'crime-predicting' tech must be BANNED!
Because we have the right to be presumed innocent, not predicted guilty.
This tech fuels racism, enables unchecked police power and threatens all our rights. Ban it!

Police tech doesn't predict crime. It predicts policing.
Fed on flawed police data, so-called 'crime-predicting' tech automates racism and discrimination against overpoliced communities.
The Safety Not Surveillance coalition spread the word that this tech must be banned!

We went outside the national police summit (UK) and this is what happened...
When we tried to ask delegates to talk on camera, no one wanted to.
Why? Because constant monitoring doesn’t feel safe. It feels intrusive 🤷♂️

This summit promised “safer communities”.
But it delivered something else: speed-dating with surveillance vendors, complete with a visit from the Home Secretary talking up artificial intelligence as the future of policing.
“Crime predicting” technology risks creating mass human rights violations.
We deserve real safety, not more surveillance.

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
