Das ist eine schlimme Form des #Totalitarismus . Bei #GeorgeOrwell heißt es bereits #Gedankenverbrechen.

Das ist das Problem mit der #Überwachung. Sie führt irgendwann zu #PreCrime Maßnahmen & Verletzung aller #Menschenrechte , die erhalten werden müssen, für die #Gerechtigkeit für alle Menschen.

As UK police forces ramp up use of facial recognition, let's remind ourselves of the harms it can cause because of errors from the technology.

Those errors form racist false arrests, which can be traumatic for those involved. This is illustrated by the case from the US of a pregnant woman arrested following a false positive from facial recognition software.

The #Manchester10 case exposes the unjust nature of 'gang narratives' in policing.

Despite having never been involved in violence, some of the young Black men were convicted under conspiracy.

Our original open letter to the Mayor of Greater Manchester, signed by 15 civil society groups lays out the injustices resulting from racialised surveillance in UK #policing, such as with Project Alpha that trawls social media to criminalise people of colour.

In March we sent an open letter to Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, to end discriminatory police practices following the case of the #Manchester10.

While the reply committed to a review of Joint Enterprise, the application of digital evidence must be considered, as it's misused to created tenuous 'gang narratives'. This racialised construct is weaponised to draw flawed conclusions that entrenches racial injustice.

Policing has a new trend: pre-crime. A dangerous formula that acts on a 'susceptibility' to crime, not guilt from someone committing a crime.

The Met's Project Alpha trawls social media for drill and rap videos to criminalise young Black men under racialised 'gang narratives'. Using such music as 'indicators' of criminality reflects the racism present in the UK justice system.

It's racial injustice through the misuse of digital evidence. #precrime #policing #racism

The Met (UK) is snooping on children.

Collecting data from social media to profile mainly young Black boys as possible criminals.

Project Alpha targets young people of colour, calculating risk profiles based on racialised gang narratives.

A label on a database that’s hard to shift, whether to convict through guilt by association or harm life opportunities.

Civil society groups say the use of sensitive metrics is exacerbating discrimination in policing.

UK #Police have algorithms analysing huge amounts of information, using discriminatory factors like ‘cramped houses’ and ‘jobs with high turnover’ to predict someone's likelihood to commit a crime.

Just this month the police used a Beyonce gig in Cardiff as an excuse to deploy live facial recognition.

The disproportionate misidentifications among younger Black men in particular has raised the discriminatory nature of the technology.

#FacialRecognition is used by the police to try and match people to watch lists but its error rate is unacceptable, particularly for younger people and people with darker skin.

Online content is being mined and used as digital evidence to create gang narratives, which with extended criminal liability, is used to imprison young Black people and people of colour for offences they have not commited.

#ProjectAlpha targets serious gang violence allegedly inspired by social media and can lead to the removal of music videos like #drill tracks.

It’s mass #surveillance of kids, likely targeting and impacting the livelihoods of young people of colour.

The ICO issued an enforced notice against the Met’s #GangsMatrix, but police forces in other regions in the UK still possess gangs databases.

Gangs databases like the Met’s Gangs Matrix erroneously and disproportionately pre-criminalise young Black men and impact their life chances.

What we know about #tech is that it accelerates results and so when an institutionally racist organisation like the police use #technology to deploy more efficient policing, it further embeds and exacerbates inherent discrimination #racism.
