Campaign group #StopWatch reports that, over the past year, police were up to 22 times more likely to carry out stop-and-search on Black people than on white people — a tactic the group labels "completely useless."

The UK needs a flexible legislative framework for emerging tech, rules ensuring police procure rights-respecting technology, and an empowered regulator to hold police accountable. #WeCopWatch

Chula Vista approved an AI policy that blocks predictive policing and biometric surveillance unless the city council signs off. The rule also mandates public disclosure of municipal AI tools and human review for any AI-assisted decisions. #WeCopWatch

"A history of British policing generally, and predictive policing specifically, in it’s colonial context, is not just empirically useful – it is also crucial for understanding how police forces rationalised their predictions." #WeCopWatch

"There is no specific legal basis governing police use of AI technologies in England and Wales.1 Police forces are acquiring powerful new technologies “without fully understanding the capabilities… and the implications" #WeCopWatch

We've known and supported her. This episode of police brutality is only part of her story, so everyone at Bristol Copwatch is relieved she's vindicated. Why are the officers still on the front line when they threaten public safety? #WeCopWatch

Persistent, recurring problems in policing must change — the same patterns can’t continue. #WeCopWatch #databreach

@bristolcopwatch.bsky.socialSep 21, 2026, 2:00 PM

www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/somerse... breaches were recorded in 2022/23, 121 in 2023/24 and 48 in 2024/25. The most common problem was compromised information — 172 incidents, nearly two-thirds of the total. It will be interesting to see the 2026 statistics. #WeCopWatch
