Comment by Corey O’Connor

These are things we are seeing -- a trend across the country that the technology is not up to speed enough and people are getting arrested that should not be. [...] You use crime data and you use mathematics to basically say where to put police. It's not fair and because you want to have some common sense in process. AI Unverifiable source (2020)

Verification History

AI Unverifiable The source URL (cbsnews.com/pittsburgh) returned HTTP 403 Forbidden and could not be fetched. However, the first portion of the quote is independently confirmed verbatim from CBS Pittsburgh: "These are things we are seeing -- a trend across the country that the technology is not up to speed enough and people are getting arrested that should not be," said O'Connor. The "crime data and mathematics" portion is consistent with his documented commentary on his 2020 bill regulating predictive policing in Pittsburgh. Vote alignment ("for" on "Ban predictive policing") aligns with his bill that imposed restrictions on unrestricted predictive policing use; however his bill was more regulation than outright ban. Marking ai_unverifiable since the CBS source URL blocks AI fetching. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 3d ago
