Comment by Matt Cagle
ACLU tech and civil liberties attorney
As Santa Cruz rightly recognized, predictive policing and facial recognition are dangerous, racially biased technologies that should never be used by our government.
[...] Lawmakers across the country have a responsibility to step up and dismantle surveillance systems that have long been used to repress activism, target communities of color, and invade people's private lives.

Verified via web search. The quote is from Matt Cagle (Senior Staff Attorney at ACLU of Northern California) commenting on Santa Cruz's June 2020 ban on predictive policing — the first US city to do so. Search results confirm the verbatim quote: "predictive policing and facial recognition are dangerous, racially-biased technologies that should never be used by our government." The vote "for" on "Ban predictive policing" directly matches. Despite the 2020 date, the quote remains canonical and Cagle's position is unchanged in his more recent 2024 ACLU work.
