Hundreds of rogue police officers face the sack after Scotland Yard used an artificial intelligence spy program to unearth misconduct, corruption and criminality.
Oh, dear...
In an unprecedented crackdown, Britain's biggest force secretly unleashed the AI tool to root out bad behaviour - letting it loose on internal systems which monitor sickness levels, overtime, expenses, entry to buildings and public complaints. The controversial tool was supplied by the US tech company Palantir, which also works for the Israeli military and Donald Trump's ICE operation.
Now unleash it on the benefits system!
Senior officers had been abusing Met systems for years, logging false claims for overtime, scamming systems to get extra days off, lying about working from home and hiding their membership of the Freemasons.
Their union is furious!
But the move has angered the Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers. It called the approach 'automated suspicion', saying: 'Officers must not be subjected to opaque or untested tools that risk misinterpreting unsustainable workload pressures, sickness or overtime as indicators of wrongdoing.'
Good luck with that!

…. and the Civil Service.
If you are going to look for 'pre-crime' in the general population then you have no excuse for avoiding its use amongst your staff or union members.
Untested systems get used on us all the time. About time plod had their collars felt. Fuck em. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Lets see some prosecutions now.
One of my colleagues was emailed and asked why in 2018 he was shown an early shift but his electronic pass wasn't used at the side door until 10am. That's how ridiculous this witch-hunt is getting. I can't remember what I did yesterday.
This PC came up with a great excuse. He said he got there on time and another PC let him in and he tailgated. Let's see if Ted can disprove that one
