The Spin

Data fusion tools supercharge old predictive policing problems by combining flawed inputs like biased arrest records and unreliable gunshot alerts into black-box systems that magnify errors while hiding how conclusions are reached. These AI-driven platforms enable indiscriminate surveillance of entire communities, tracking vehicles and mapping social connections without warrants, turning constitutional violations into automated processes that disproportionately target Black and Latino neighborhoods.

Unmanned systems offer law enforcement unprecedented capabilities for search and rescue, bomb disposal, and tactical operations while keeping officers safe from dangerous situations. The technology enables rapid crime scene mapping, extends operational reach into inaccessible areas, and provides real-time intelligence that enhances decision-making during critical incidents.
