Comment by Corey O’Connor
Pittsburgh City Council member
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 Verified source (2020)

The quote is about predictive policing and criticizes it as unfair and error-prone, but it does not clearly say it should be banned. The author's position on the full policy statement is therefore unclear.

The quote is authentic. The provided CBS Pittsburgh article, published August 25, 2020, contains both passages verbatim and attributes each to Corey O’Connor with "said O'Connor." The "[...]" is omitting intervening article text/another O’Connor quote, but the words shown match the source.

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.
