It looks into human rights standards, as elaborated in the selected European Court of Human Rights case law on creating police databases, watchlists and registries, and the police’s use of new technologies. The article argues that in the case of new technologies deployed by law enforcement the availability of evidence on the effectiveness and accuracy of a given method should be essential to assess that an interference with a human right using this technology is ‘necessary in a democratic society’. The article notes that the Court’s unwillingness to assess the claims about the utility of technology critically might suggest that its evaluation of human rights compliance of person-based predictive policing and other experimental technologies would suffer from a severe blind spot.</p></div></div></div></div> ER -
