AI Verified Verified: the provided Canary page is dated 17 March 2026 and says, in conversation with the Canary, “Mariano delli Santi of Open Rights Group” made the remarks. The page contains the exact first passage (“bias and stereotypes at scale...”) and, later, the exact second passage (“Predictive policing is a dangerous thing that has no place in a democratic society.”). So the stored quote is a faithful ellipsis splice of two verbatim excerpts from that source, and the stored author, date, and source URL match.

Disputed The Canary article dated 17 March 2026 does attribute both relevant remarks to Mariano delli Santi, but not as one continuous quote. In the article, the passage containing “bias and stereotypes at scale” appears earlier, and only later a separate quotation says predictive policing is a “dangerous thing” with “no place” in democracy. The submitted version stitches those two separate remarks together in reverse order, so it is not verbatim as presented.

AI Unverifiable 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. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 4mo ago
