British police forces have signed contracts with a controversial US tech giant to buy AI-powered software that uses data about an individual’s race, sex life, health and political beliefs, it can be revealed.
An internal police memo obtained by The i Paper and Liberty Investigates confirms an intention to “nationally” apply the “Nectar” intelligence system, currently deployed as a pilot by the Bedfordshire force after being developed with Silicon Valley data analysis group Palantir Technologies.
The document, obtained under freedom of information rules, shows how the Palantir system is designed to bring together dozens of existing law enforcement databases into a single computing platform to draw up detailed profiles of suspects, as well as collate information on victims of crime, witnesses, and vulnerable individuals including children.

I’m sure all those people whose data was collected “had nothing to hide.”
Of course it’s Thiel’s Palantir. Lets all just consolidate all surveillance under one singular company! If we’re going to do some stupid, may as well go extra stupid.
CTOS, here we come!
We’re pleased to announce we’ve made the tormaent nexus from the hit novel “Don’t make the torment nexus”.
I binged through WD1 and 2 in like a month last year. Great great fucking games, but I was surprised to hear that apparently it’s weird to prefer the first one?
The second game is a fun playground, but the first one was such a tightly designed experience where nearly all of the elements reinforced each other in terms of design, setting, and plot.
Yeah I’m okay turning Palo Alto to glass.
Gonna be a shame when this database leaks and people DOXX the cops involved and their porn history
What’s Peter Theil’s porn history? I hear he likes dudes.
Can we try and not do the one-up the US in being mental thing this time
I’ll call it “The Producers!”
I will never understand how a gay man is cool with giving right wing fascists all the surveillance tech they’ll ever need. It’s not like fascists are known for turning on their own once they have no value. Cough, Ernst Rohm, cough.
Oh there are plenty of specious rationalizations. “If I didn’t do it, someone else would” is a common one. “I just give the customers what they want” is another. “The tech has good uses, too” is one of the trickiest. “It’s the only thing I’m good at” is the saddest. If you ever find yourself saying one of these things, take a long hard look at yourself. I don’t know anything about the guy so dunno which one he uses.
None of those. He’ll buy his way out of it and use it to get his own technate after destroying everything.
It isn’t just Bedfordshire but other forces across England. Only they are owning up to it.
This will be fun when every police officer appears at the top of the list for possibly being a wife abuser. Though I’m sure Palantir will have uhm, fixed that.
Police scanning for unsucked cocks.
as well as collate information on victims of crime, witnesses, and vulnerable individuals including children.
I see no way in wich this could be abused. /S
Also, who do they consider to be vulnerable individuals and why do they feel the desire to spy or them?
Oh, so me spying on people’s sex lives make me a creep and now there are people I have to stay 500 feet from but if I’m a cop, I get paid for it? And it’s ok? Wtf
Time to go to prison because the computer hallucinated some lies about you, citizen!
What? Yes! Yes of course also because of your skin color, that part’s a given.
This reminds me of the concepts explored in the anime “psycho-pass” but with the added caveat that reality has to be extra fucking lame and absurd. Cops of the future are gonna be using AI chatbots to make shit up about random people to legally justify shooting them
