The Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, criticised the approach as “automated suspicion”. It said: “Officers must not be subjected to opaque or untested tools that risk misinterpreting unsustainable workload pressures, sickness or overtime as indicators of wrongdoing.”

Oh so when they target police officers these measures are questioned, but when police departments deploy them to spy on the general populace I guess its fine...

My thoughts exactly.

I don't recall them protesting against treating every passerby as a suspect in the lineup, so here's my heartfelt message to the Police Federation: f* off, nice to see you on the receiving end for a change.

Reminds me of the plot of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (2002). Hopefully Met police will not find themselves in a situation where they have to investigate Palantir or Palantir's interests.

Sure have been quite a few heartwarming submarine stories lately trying to talk up all the good Palantir does for the world.
