AI Verified The quote directly addresses predictive policing and clearly rejects it: 'we don't want predictive policing in the European Union, full stop.' That supports the full statement 'Ban predictive policing.' · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 19d ago

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote explicitly rejects 'mass surveillance' in the EU. Although it does not name governments or AI, that broad opposition clearly implies support for banning government use of AI for mass surveillance of citizens as a subset of what the author says they do not want. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago

Quote authenticity comments

AI Verified The quote is authentic. A DW-republished version of the 2023 article contains the exact sentence and attributes it to Dragoș Tudorache: “We don't want mass surveillance, we don't want social scoring, we don't want predictive policing in the European Union, full stop.” ([tbsnews.net](https://www.tbsnews.net/tech/eu-lawmakers-lay-groundwork-historic-ai-regulation-650102?utm_source=openai)) An official European Parliament/EUR-Lex transcript of Tudorache’s June 12, 2023 speech also records the same wording, with only sentence punctuation changed: “We don't want mass surveillance. We don't want social scoring. We don't want predictive policing in the European Union, full stop.” ([eur-lex.europa.eu](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=OJ%3AC_202401468&utm_source=openai)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 19d ago
AI Verified Quote verified verbatim via web search. The exact text "We don't want mass surveillance, we don't want social scoring, we don't want predictive policing in the European Union, full stop" is attributed to Dragos Tudorache, MEP and co-rapporteur of the EU AI Act. The DW source URL was not accessible to WebFetch (DW blocks fetches) but the quote appears in multiple sources covering the EU AI Act negotiations. Vote alignment "for" matches the statement "Ban predictive policing" — Tudorache helped lead the negotiations that ultimately included a predictive policing ban in the EU AI Act. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
