Combining police #bodycams & #facialrecognition is concerning, regardless of accuracy. Our faces are central to who we are. There are many risks to cataloguing our faces in databases that can be stored & mined indefinitely. #NeighbourhoodWatched

Predictive policing technology aims at estimating where and when crimes will be committed - but it uses biased data that can lead to discrimination and profiling: https://privacyinternational.org/explainer-graphic/2719/predictive-policing-explainer

Did you know the use of police body worn video cameras is not regulated by any law?
The public should know more about how these tools work - and police should be held accountable!

Do you know that the police can look at your social media activity and use it to decide whether you are a threat?

This is how the police can use social media surveillance on citizens like you.

Would you consent to the police scanning your face in a crowd to check you’re not a criminal? This was one of the questions @CommonsSTC asked last April before a public debate on facial recognition. This is how we responded.

UK police forces can keep tabs on us as we go about our everyday lives on a scale not previously possible.

Demand transparency.

Stop unaccountable & unlawful police surveillance.

Protect your neighbourhood from being watched.

Tomorrow we will also talk about our campaign #NeighbourhoodWatched, created with @libertyhq, which explores how UK police forces are using surveillance tools to spy on us as we go about our everyday lives: https://www.privacyinternational.org/campaigns/neighbourhood-watched

We're shining a spotlight on policing surveillance tech with @libertyhq, including #predictivepolicing programs, which use computer algorithms that risk reinforcing discrimination. #NeighbourhoodWatched #police #policing #predpol https://privacyinternational.org/feature/2720/how-predictive-policing-technology-can-lead-discrimination-and-profiling https://twitter.com/privacyint/status/1109149884375015424/photo/1

This week in our series on emerging police surveillance tech with @libertyhq: the dangers of #predictivepolicing programs, which use computer algorithms that risk reinforcing discrimination. #NeighbourhoodWatched #police #policing #predpol https://privacyinternational.org/feature/2720/how-predictive-policing-technology-can-lead-discrimination-and-profiling https://twitter.com/privacyint/status/1107612268995506177/photo/1

Are the police reading your tweets? We’re working with @libertyhq to shine a light on ‘social media intelligence’ policing & a wide range of other emerging #police #surveillance technologies. #NeighbourhoodWatched https://privacyinternational.org/campaigns/neighbourhood-watched https://twitter.com/privacyint/status/1105076899074707456/photo/1

Smile, you’re on camera! All police forces will soon use #bodyworncameras. Officers have control of when to switch the cameras on. And off. We’re working with @libertyhq to shine a light on police spy tech #neighbourhoodwatched https://privacyinternational.org/campaigns/neighbourhood-watched

In the future, millions of CCTV cameras may be enabled with #FacialRecognition tech, so UK police forces will be able to spy on us all in public.

UK police are rolling out new spying technologies that monitor us in public, online and even at home. But they’re not telling the public. That’s not #policingbyconsent.

Do you know what 'IMSI catchers' are? The UK police can use them to locate, track & grab data from your phone, and they're doing this secretly. We’re working with @libertyhq to shine a light on how your local police force might spy on you. #NeighbourhoodWatched https://t.co/TmAXLqusa2
