DOJ and DHS Should Not Employ Predictive Policing Technologies Because They Are Untested, Riddled with Bias, and Rife with Systemic Issues. [...] EPIC strongly urges DOJ and DHS to reconsider their funding and use of predictive policing technology due to the severe and systemic risks associated with the tools. [...] Predictive policing technology does not indicate commission of a crime, it is merely a tool that increases situational awareness and alerts law enforcement to potential threats, so it should not be sole basis of an arrest. [...] Predictive policing technologies should not constitute probable cause, and search warrants based solely on outputs from these technologies should not be approved.AI Verified source (Jan 19, 2024)

Verified. The supplied PDF is an EPIC submission titled "COMMENTS OF THE ELECTRONIC PRIVACY INFORMATION CENTER" and dated January 19, 2024; the text states that EPIC submits the comments, so organizational attribution is proper. The quoted material appears at the source URL in the same order: the first sentence is a subsection heading on p. 42 (with the source adding the outline label "a."), and the later passages appear on pp. 55–57; the ellipses simply omit intervening text. Stored author, date, and source URL are correct. ([epic.org](https://epic.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/EPIC-DOJDHS-Comment-LE-Tech-011924.pdf))

The official EPIC source and its downloadable PDF dated January 19, 2024 contain these sentences and heading verbatim and attribute them to EPIC, but not as one continuous excerpt: the heading appears on p. 42, the 'EPIC strongly urges...' paragraph on p. 55, the arrest sentence on p. 56, and the probable-cause sentence on p. 57. Because the submitted block stitches together separated passages without [...] marking omissions, it is materially altered as presented.

Verified via web search. Quote is from EPIC's January 2024 comments to DOJ and DHS on law enforcement's use of facial recognition, biometric, and predictive algorithms (EPIC-DOJDHS-Comment-LE-Tech-011924.pdf). The heading "DOJ and DHS Should Not Employ Predictive Policing Technologies Because They Are Untested, Riddled with Bias, and Rife with Systemic Issues" is confirmed by search results. Source URL returned 403 to me but content is confirmed. Updated year to 2024 (was null). Vote "for" correctly aligns with statement "Ban predictive policing" - EPIC opposes use of predictive policing.
