Verification Status: Verified
Notes: Comprehensive piece by Brennan Center counsel Angel Diaz covering predictive policing bias, gang database misuse (LAPD falsification, Chicago’s audited gang database, Phoenix’s attempt to add ACAB protesters as a fake gang, DC’s leaked/hacked database), and ShotSpotter’s role in the Adam Toledo shooting and evidence alteration allegations. Notes Santa Cruz, CA became the first US city to ban predictive policing, and Portland, OR eliminated its gang database — both useful precedent examples for BPA advocacy.
