## Resource

In Bristol, a massive predictive policing database was built to forecast community risks—but with little transparency, questionable ethics, and alarming consequences for ordinary citizens like John Pegram, who discovered he was in the system without knowing how he was scored or why. With over twenty-three algorithms in development, including ones predicting burglars, court skips, and domestic abuse victims, police are racing to inject AI into every corner of justice—despite low precision, biased models, and no consent. As the UK’s top police AI advisor pushes for rapid adoption, the real question remains: can we balance safety with privacy—and who’s really being protected?
