Our townhall events come as the use of AI tools in UK policing escalates dramatically.
The coalition calls for an end to so-called “predictive” policing with legislation that protects our rights.
There must be safeguards against the harms of AI and tech uses in policing and immigration settings.
We fight for a society where surveillance and digital policing isn't heralded as the answer to social and economic problems.

Coming up, the #SafetyNotSurveillance coalition is holding townhall events across the country.
Join us to explore how AI and ‘crime-predicting’ tech is being used by local police forces. And what can be done about it.

In den Systemen sollen auch besonders schützenswerte Personendaten – etwa Gesundheitsdaten oder biometrische Daten – bearbeitet werden.
Die Polizeibehörden dürfen künftig schrankenlos Personendaten austauschen: Wer in eine harmlose Verkehrskontrolle gerät, über diese Person kann automatisiert weitreichende Information abgerufen werden.
Ein Paradigmenwechsel vom gezielten Zugriff zur Massenabfrage!

Die Zürcher Polizei soll künftig intransparente KI-Systeme nutzen, die sensible Personendaten aus verschiedenen Quellen zusammenführen, analysieren und daraus Wahrscheinlichkeiten ableiten.
Besonders brisant: Diese Analyse-Systeme sollen bereits bei Vorermittlungen zum Einsatz kommen, also dann, wenn noch gar kein konkreter Straftatverdacht existiert!

Widerstand gegen Zürcher «Minority Report»!
Das Zürcher Polizeigesetz darf kein Standard für die Polizeiarbeit in der Schweiz werden. Es achtet die Grund- und Menschenrechte der Menschen nicht, sondern schafft eine präventive Massenüberwachung.
Deshalb reicht die Digitale Gesellschaft gemeinsam mit weiteren Organisationen und Personen Beschwerde gegen das Gesetz vor dem Bundesgericht ein.

Beyond the headlines figures, there's little transparency over the extent of surveillance that those referred into Prevent will face.
Being neither wholly owned by policing or by counter-terrorism, there appears to be no oversight or parliamentary scrutiny of data sharing, processing and storage.

Prevent is expanding the surveillance state at an unruly rate.
Public sector workers shouldn't be co-opted as agents of counter-terror policing. People in need of support shouldn't be stigmatised as suspect.
We need real investment in education, community health services and local infrastructure.

Prevent is meant to identify people at risk of radicalisation before any crime has been committed.
But over 50% of referrals fall under 'no fixed ideology'.
And governments have added more categories into the mix, bloating the system with referrals that don't belong under a counter-terrorism lens.

Prevent referrals have shot up by ~40% in England and Wales 📈
Kids, teens and vulnerable people are being pushed into a mass surveillance programme where 80% of referrals don't go anywhere. But their data remains in the system.
It’s clear that a programme designed for counter-terrorism has lost the plot.

Under 18s make up the majority of referrals into Prevent.
Over a third are people with mental health conditions and people who are neurodivergent.
Often referrals are made to fast track people to get support. Long-term surveillance is the trade off.
Prevent is the wrong answer.

Featuring the antics of #RoombaCop!
#Police #Surveillance Technology: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
"John Oliver discusses the tools police are using to keep track of civilians – whether or not they’re suspected of a crime – and some creative ideas about how to use wigs."

(So you don't have to surrender your IP to Substack, thereby endangering your future self as well as supporting the Nazi friendly Substack site, I have extracted the essence of the essay, which you *should* read. This is some scary stuff. Pay attention and as Ice-T so succinctly put it: Freedom of speech, just watch what you say. We here are the very people this bulletin is talking about.)
"FEMA’s New Mission: Domestic Terrorism
The disaster response agency forgets the weather, embraces pre-crime
(. . .)
To head off these attacks, the bulletin tells states what to buy: training to spot 'social media-based indicators,' analysts to monitor 'online behaviors and digital footprints,' and teams for 'managing persons of concern whose behavior indicates a potential trajectory toward domestic terrorism.'
(. . .)
Some form of the word indicator — indicators, indicative, indicates — appears ten times in the eight-page FEMA bulletin. It is a favorite euphemism of law enforcement because it obscures what’s really happening: pre-crime. Indicators are something a person said or did that an officer has been trained to read as a sign of a crime that hasn't happened and may never happen.
Under this approach, the old requirement that evidence of a crime come first before any investigation is replaced by a forecast. It’s vibes-based law enforcement, divination but with the imprimatur of national security respectability. And while it’s mostly only been used against real, organized foreign terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda and ISIS, it’s now being deployed against Americans.
(. . .)
Three days after signing an executive order declaring 'Antifa' a domestic terrorist organization, Trump issued NSPM-7 on September 25, 2025 — a national security order that opens with a reference to Kirk’s murder and builds a counterterrorism program meant to prevent the next one.
NSPM-7 asserts that political violence in America 'does not emerge organically' but is the product of 'sophisticated, organized campaigns.' It identifies its own 'indicators' of domestic terrorism to investigate, including: 'anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.'"

Tech that supposedly 'predicts' crime is using sensitive personal data of hundreds of thousands of people without transparency.
It amplifies biases, as it's fed on data that reflects historic discriminatory police practices. And it undermines the crucial right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
That's why we're calling for a BAN on its use in the UK.

UK police forces are increasingly using so-called 'predictive' tech.
Wired's investigation reveals how algorithms used by Avon and Somerset Police scored people by their 'risk' of offending from multiple databases of sensitive information.
These models have been plagued with inaccuracy and 'poor predictive performance'.

We have the right to be presumed innocent NOT predicted guilty.
AI systems learn from existing flawed data. Data that reflects discriminatory police practices over the years.
We must act now to stop injustice for over-policed communities.

It's right that Palantir, a firm powering ICE and the war in Gaza, is blocked from the Met Police. BUT we must go further.
We must ban so-called crime-predicting tools, "which claim to predict who will commit crimes and where. These systems undermine the presumption of innocence."

Apparently we reached the state of #Thoughtcrime punishment, it's called #precrime and on virustotal. Microsoft and Sophos just "blocked" (aka content filter says it's porn... whuat?) a friend's website because the #AI was suspicious of his AI website probably because on #Virustotal PreCrime is flagging it as will-be-malicious-in-the-future.
I want my Internet back.

@autonomysolidarity Nothing #Orwellian about this. Not at all... <sarc>

So-called 'crime predicting' tech automates racism in the UK criminal justice system.
Even the police have admitted that it's biased, with it being based on flawed police data 🤷
We need to stop pouring in good money after bad.
We need an outright ban on its use.

We have a right to be presumed innocent. Not predicted guilty.
AI that claims to 'predict' crime will only replicate the historic discrimination and abuse already experienced by over-policed communities.
