I predict a riot... a robbery, a murder?

Crime predicting tech is being used to surveil and monitor us based on historic biases in the data its trained on. It doesn't predict crime. It reinforces the over-policing of already over-policed communities.

Write to your Council to BAN crime predicting tech ⬇️

Open Rights GroupWrite to your local council: Ban ‘Crime-Predicting’ Police TechPolice are using so-called “crime-predicting” technology to surveil and monitor us - without our consent! Police use these technologies to target people and neighbourhoods BEFORE crimes take place. These technologies are built on existing, flawed, police data, so communities who have historically been over policed are more likely to be identified as at ‘risk’ of future criminal behaviour. Police already have extensive powers which they use to target, harass and stop and search innocent people.

"Former Mayor Sylvester Turner formed a 45-member task force to examine city policies on policing and crisis management.

The task force’s final report ultimately led to a series of 106 proposed reforms for the Houston Police Department...But five years later, city and police officials are unable to say how many recommendations were adopted."

#UK #Border Force is a #military command reflecting increase of hyper-militarisation in #policing, according to new report

Emergence of #paramilitary/political policing across #Europe, at borders, during #civil #unrest & public #protest

It cites the Home Office's request & support for creation of new #clandestine Channel threat commander as evidence of the Channel becoming #HyperMilitarised

What they have begun at the border does not end at the border

Further, I must caution readers to great care in how they interpret this thoughtful and excellently written guidance. I note this 2011 article on the re-arrest of the Naked Rambler in Scotland: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tay

Being convicted of a crime, however egregiously wrongful the conviction, can be terribly inconvenient.

At any rate; the manner of protest of these ladies is tremendously elegant.

I am told, by wiser people than I, that in #England & #Wales, the #crime of indecent exposure requires an "indecent" component. Merely walking about as your Deity/mother nature made you is not - in and of itself - a criminal act. One's accuser must explain to the judge's satisfaction why your exposure was indecent (maybe you needlessly jiggled something about, for example).

They went on to tell me that this is not the case in #Scotland, where one may be detained simply for rambling naked. They did not know whether or not one would successfully be prosecuted in the Scottish #court, but they thought it probable. It was not their area of expertise.

I did thank them for their advice, and put my clothes back on ;)

Right to Know

An Garda Síochána has been told to release all records they hold about providing incorrect figures to the Department of Justice on policing strength.

Last year, An Garda made a formal apology to the then-Justice Minister Helen McEntee after providing data that appeared to show a sudden jump in the number of gardaí stationed in her constituency.

If you care about #media, #policing, #propaganda, or anything related, this is a must-listen episode.

@taylorlorenz interviews Alec Karakatsanis about his new book "Copaganda: How Police and the Media Manipulate Our News" and it's a great conversation.

I don't think most people realize how ingrained #Copoganda is in our media.

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.

38 DegreesBan ‘Crime Predicting’ Police Tech The Lie  AI and police tech don’t predict crime - they predict policing. These technologies are built on existing, flawed, police data. So communities who have historically been over policed are more likely to be identified as at ‘risk’ of future criminal behaviour. This leads to more racist policing and more surveillance, particularly for Black and racialised communities, lower income communities and migrant communities. Instead of making us safer, this tech leads to: • Over-policing •...

'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 🤯
