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.

'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 🤯

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.
