"It allows users to input features about an individual’s appearance such as hair colour, age and build (race is notably absent). It analyses photographs or footage to suggest these features and then checks across other reports to link it to an existing profile of an individual, if relevant."

How local grocery chains use surveillance tech Auror to watch you and ‘predict crime’

If you’ve bought groceries or shopped at a major Australian retailer recently, chances are you’ve probably been surveilled using Auror.

#China #EthnicProfiling #Hikvision #HumanRights: "A live Hikvision API guide explicitly listed the video analytic "are they an ethnic minority" (是否少数民族) until IPVM reached out for comment when Hikvision promptly deleted the evidence.

This directly contradicts Hikvision's repeated claims to have phased out minority recognition in 2018.

Ethnic minority alerts in the PRC are typically used to target Uyghurs, the subject of serious human rights violations, according to the UN."

The #EURightsAgency's Police stops report shows that the police stop minorities more often than others.
Men, young people & Muslims are stopped most often.
Trust in police among those who experienced #EthnicProfiling drops.

@aral @[email protected] @[email protected] in Ireland Irish Travellers Minceiri have been logged onto An Gardaí Siochanna (Irish Police) pulse system as young as 6 weeks old. #EthnicProfiling at its worst. Yet, from a health perspective Irish Travellers are calling for an ethnic identifier in Maternity Hospitals because of conditions like Galactosemia, and a need to monitor the non delivery of culturally appropriate accommodation. The problem then is the crossover between #EthnicProfiling and #EthnicIdentifying

Oops, did I just register the domain racial-profiling.eu? I might have.

Maybe someone should create a web site where we list which EU countries carry out racial profiling and publish the experiences of people who have been racially profiled at EU borders. 🤔

Maybe we can use the fediverse to gather those experiences…

Here, I’ll start:

I was racially profiled by Belgian border police two weeks ago at Brussels Airport.

Absolute nightmare of an experience at Brussels airport passport control. Likely getting profiled because the birthplace on my French passport says Turkey and the chip isn’t working (which is why I was in the manual control lane to begin with). The joys of being white passing in racist countries. You’re fine until they see you might be a bit too Brown inside. Now sitting in a room with other Brown and Black folks, waiting (and they have my passport). #belgium #brussels #racism

So Dutch border police have been told by the courts to stop ethnic profiling… Hey, I wonder, can we do Belgium next?

Whaddaya say, @EU_Commission, given you’re headquartered there and all? You down with the racial profiling being carried out at the borders?

Any thoughts, @FRA?

Any local politicians/MEPs want to take this on?

A historic judgment! A Dutch court has just ruled on appeal that the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee can no longer use ethnicity for border controls. This ruling will contribute to stopping discriminatory controls by the KMar.
