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 🤯

D'oh! Not a good idea to do that in the middle of #Southend anyway, even less so when there's a fat copper in hi vis *immediately behind you* (even in a plain car the #Roads #Policing Unit #officers have to wear uniform to prove they are actual old bill and not some random walt who bought blue lights off Ebay). I guess he doesn't look in the rear mirror much..

It was not just the mistakes and sloppy work, but the attempt at a coverup.

Mistakes do happen - and sometimes lead to tragedies, but the attempt at the coverup, the lies and the gleeful repetition of them by the Daily Heil amongst others should be unacceptable. The only person held to account was the whistleblower who exposed them. The office in charge of this debacle was promoted to become Met commissioner

No-Bid ICE Contract Went to Former ICE Agents Being Sued for Fabricating Criminal Evidence on the Job

The $73 million deal for assisting with deportations went to a company whose executives are accused of retaliating against a fellow ICE worker.

A piece of knowledge many white non-immigrant English-speaking folks may need to absorb and internalize in this moment:

These government police forces acting brutally towards immigrants? They were always like that.

ICE and other policing forces in this country are fundamentally corrupt. In fact, the entire systems of "policing" and "border control" in America have racist and xenophobic origins.

If our country survives this coup attempt with democracy intact, these systems will need to be left behind or rebuilt from the ground up with a new vision. Otherwise we will be trading overt fascism for fascism lite.

Trump is halfway to making America a police state

To some extent it always has been. A rag tag of local forces, often racist, badly trained and poorly run by elected police chiefs and judges. But now the constitution is being ignored by El Presidente as well.

'It seems a matter of time before other less besieged western legal systems hear petitions by US citizens for asylum. '

Screen shot of article, reading 'Trump is halfway to making America a police state The president's refusal to accept a Supreme Court ruling on illegal deportation is a turning point'
Screenshot of article reading 'At around noon on 14 April, 2025, America ceased to have a law-abiding government. Some would argue that had already happened on 20 January, when Donald Trump was inaugurated. On Monday, however, Trump chose to ignore a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to repatriate an illegally deported man. He even claimed the judges ruled in his favour. The US president's middle finger to the court was echoed by his attorney-general, secretary of state, vice-president and El Salvador's vigilante president Nayib Bukele. The latter is playing host to what resembles an embryonic US gulag. In terms of clarifying moments, Trump's meeting with Bukele compares with his dressing down of Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy in late February. Zelenskyy was berated for being insufficiently thankful for US military aid and for failing to wear a suit. A tieless Bukele, by contrast, got royal treatment. Trump's team nodded when Bukele said he would not consider returning the wrongful deportee, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. All baselessly agreed that Garcia was in fact a terrorist. The Oval Office drama offered a civics lesson to the world: America's government pays greater respect to a foreign strongman than its own Supreme Court.

@nullagent
Of course the best answer (for a given definition of best) is to avoid the region and make it as unprofitable as practicable, while finding ways to support conventional policing and strengthen democratic institutions in other regions.

So it is therefore clearly on a completely unrelated note that I share this link to amusing printed masks of your favourite topical celebrities and politicians, (from a Chinese supplier, please do share a link to manufacturers in friendlier states, if anyone has one).
