"Predictive policing technologies infringe human rights “at their heart” and should be prohibited in the UK, argues Green MP Siân Berry, after tabling an amendment to the government’s forthcoming Crime and Policing Bill.
Speaking in the House of Commons during the report stage of the bill, Berry highlighted the dangers of using predictive policing technologies to assess the likelihood of individuals or groups committing criminal offences in the future.
“Such technologies, however cleverly sold, will always need to be built on existing, flawed police data, or data from other flawed and biased public and private sources,” she said. “That means that communities that have historically been over-policed will be more likely to be identified as being ‘at risk’ of future criminal behaviour.”"
