Transparency of data-based and data-driven policing systems

Early day motion 1180, tabled 30 April 2025 by Clive Lewis (Labour). Signed by 21 members.

That this House recognises there is a significant lack of transparency around the use of geographic and individual data-based and data-driven policing systems, that people do not know about the use of them in their community, or whether they have individually been targeted, that people do not know how, or are unable to, seek information about the data held on them by police forces and other authorities in the criminal legal system and that there should be a statutory obligation on police forces and other related authorities across England and Wales to register and publish details about all the predictive, profiling and risk prediction systems they are developing or using on a publicly available register and that notification should be given to all those who have been processed through these system and to those given risk scores.

Signatures by party: Labour 9, Independent 6, Green 2, Liberal Democrat 2, Conservative 1, Labour/Co-operative 1.
