I have been assessed as MEDIUM risk of committing crime in the future 😱 Take @fairtrials quiz to see how police or criminal justice authorities could use data & AI to profile you. Ban predictive policing & justice systems in the #AIAct#AutomatedInjustice https://t.co/XUA8T8GA1l
What's truly 'bonkers' is the fact that we now have a 50 year high on the number of prisoners on remand 467 incidents of self-harm per 100 women remand prisoners. All because @MattHancock refused to release prisoners during the pandemic.

An #INTERPOL review led to the removal of a #RedNotice issued by the US against Yevgeny Prigozhin, on the grounds that it was politically motivated and violated Interpol's principle of political neutrality.

Suella Braverman: “I’m afraid it’s the Labour Party, it’s the Lib Dems, it’s the Coalition of chaos, it’s the Guardian-reading, Tofu-eating, wokerati - dare I say the anti-growth coalition that we have to thank for the disruption we are seeing on our roads today!”
NEW: The criminal justice system in England & Wales is failing young people, forcing them to make life-changing decisions with little time or information. In some cases, they are given as little as 20-30 minutes to decide whether or not to plead guilty. https://t.co/LSPPHPPdiE
The UK Gov has reportedly ditched its 'Bill of Rights' aka the #RightsRemovalBill. This is a huge victory for the coalition of charities and human rights campaigners who resisted this attempt to strip away our rights. But it's likely another attack on human rights is to come.
Criminal barristers in England & Wales will go on an indefinite, uninterrupted strike next month.
Why has it come to this? Because of many years of excessive cuts to the criminal justice system, overcriminalisation, and inaction on legal aid fees.

I strongly believe in the transformative power of #fashion, but someone should tell @metpoliceuk that they're not subject to special measures due to their ghastly sartorial choices.
Met hopes smart uniforms can help revive its reputation https://t.co/IArh0ZUHNy
This is ‘Emotions on the Playground' by Oscar, age 5.
Oscar says “No one would play with me on the adventure playground.”

this is your classic 'one rule for us, and another rule for the rest of 'em'. if you're on a low income you can neither pay the fine nor drug treatment - leaving you with no viable alternative to criminal prosecution. there isn't even any pretence of fairness in this white paper
The UK Government's latest proposals to tackle recreational drug use will criminalise poverty and further fuel discriminatory policing.
“Punitive approaches to drug consumption have failed time and time again." ⬇️

With an overwhelming majority (607 votes to 13), MEPs approved a Recommendation to strengthen #INTERPOL’s ability to stop authoritarian regimes abusing its tools.
"MEPs made a strong statement that INTERPOL simply isn’t doing enough to protect people."

Chilling: “My Government will ensure the constitution is defended”
This is their spin to cover up their sinister plan to attack our justice system and human rights framework - they want to "restore the balance of power" in their own favour #QueensSpeech@libertyhq
Worrying report in @thetimes that the UK gov is launching its own offensive against the #ECHR. Human rights are inherent to everyone, irrespective of their nationality, status, or personal experiences.

These tables show overall figures by ethnicity, gender and age. A huge number of people experiencing the trauma of being searched with clothing removed. So many children being searched - surely they should be meeting with youth workers not this?
Today, my bill, #AB1630 “The Vulnerable Defendants Right to a Fair Trial Act” passed the Assembly Public Safety Committee. This bill ensures due process for individuals with severe mental illness & encourages timely access to mental health treatment.
