EU legislative body
To respect privacy and human dignity, MEPs ask for a permanent ban on the automated recognition of individuals in public spaces, noting that citizens should only be monitored when suspected of a crime. Parliament calls for the use of private facial recognition databases (like the Clearview AI system, which is already in use) and predictive policing based on behavioural data to be forbidden. MEPs also want to ban social scoring systems, which try to rate the trustworthiness of citizens based on their behaviour or personality.

Verified via web search. Quote is verbatim from the European Parliament press release dated October 6, 2021 (20210930IPR13925) about MEPs opposing mass surveillance. The exact phrases "permanent ban on the automated recognition of individuals in public spaces," "predictive policing based on behavioural data to be forbidden," and "ban social scoring systems" are all confirmed across multiple sources (TechCrunch, TechSpot, eucrim, Schneier on Security). Source URL returned 403 to me but content is independently confirmed. Vote "for" correctly aligns with statement "Ban predictive policing" - the EP resolution explicitly calls for forbidding predictive policing.
