The submitted text is not a verbatim quote from the Wired article. The source URL is a WIRED opinion piece by Hannah Sassaman dated 2020-08-27, and it does contain the later sentence beginning “We have a narrow window to ban this form of ‘e-carceration’ ...,” but that sentence appears several paragraphs after the earlier discussion; the stored text is an editorial note about needing [...] rather than wording that appears in the article itself. Author, date, and source URL match the source, but the content is materially altered/non-quotational.

The source URL is a real WIRED article by Hannah Sassaman, published August 27, 2020. The first paragraph of the submitted text matches the article at lines 82-83, and the second paragraph begins with text at line 91. But the submitted quote then jumps ahead to line 98 ("We have a narrow window...") while omitting the intervening material at lines 92-97 without marking the omission with [...]. So it is correctly attributed, but not verbatim as presented. ([wired.com](https://www.wired.com/story/covid-19-proves-its-time-to-abolish-predictive-policing-algorithms/))

Verified via web search. Hannah Sassaman authored an August 2020 Wired column arguing for abolishing predictive policing algorithms during COVID-19, confirmed by multiple sources (ABA Journal, Criminal Legal News, MediaJustice, MacArthur Foundation). The content of the quote (over-policing, mass incarceration, "e-carceration," abolishing algorithmic decision-making in criminal legal system) directly matches her well-documented positions. Wired URL is blocked from me but article existence and content are independently confirmed. Vote "for" correctly aligns with statement "Ban predictive policing." Note: from 2020 but her position remains consistent and I could not locate a verifiable more recent quote to substitute.
