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.

So when I say one day they're gonna have cameras up your ass 24 7. I wasn't kidding. You are cattle, you are slaves. You live in a capitalist globalist system, and fascists are the useful idiots of empire. Liberals just get in the way of progress. Progressives are just Neo-liberal 2.0. The world we live in is a world of rape.
