Predictive policing is a dangerous thing that has no place in a democratic society. [...] bias and stereotypes at scale. Black people, migrant people, poor people, people from geographic areas which have been historically over policed are more likely to be identified as at risk of committing a crime.AI Unverifiable source (2026)

Quote attributed to Mariano delli Santi (Legal & Policy Officer, Open Rights Group, 2026) opposing predictive policing as having "no place in a democratic society" and reproducing "bias and stereotypes at scale" against Black, migrant, poor and over-policed communities. The source_url (thecanary.co, 17 Mar 2026 analysis on predictive policing criminalising children) is the correct primary source but returns HTTP 403 to WebFetch — I could not directly read it. Web search strongly corroborated: it confirmed delli Santi (Open Rights Group) is quoted in this exact Canary article arguing predictive policing systems reflect prejudices, are "inherently racist and classist", and reproduce "bias and stereotypes at scale" — matching the quote's wording and substance. The specific phrase "no place in a democratic society" wasn't surfaced verbatim by search but is fully consistent. Vote 'for' on statement #213 ("Ban predictive policing") correctly aligns with his strong opposition. Marking ai_unverifiable only because the source page could not be fetched directly; corroboration is strong.
