I don't think it can get much worse than using AI to generate "evidence" to support a policing decision - and consequenly basing decisions on hallucinations.

If it's being used like this at such a high level - you can be pretty sure that lower ranked officers are using it to guide criminal investigations. Probably most relevant to investigations involving public figures or perhaps campaign groups (people and organisations that AI LLMs will have stuff to say about).
That is a very fair point! I'm not going to argue with it!

This Guardian writer seems intent on stirring up more community tension...

A corner of north London where food has become a battleground in the Israel-Gaza war
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... on-protest

Describes the opening of a branch of Gail's bakery near a Palestinian-owned cafe as "an act of heavy-handed high-street aggression" and how these two cafes are now on the "frontline of a war". A paragraph towards the end seems to suggest that smashing the windows of Gail's is pretty much OK and on a par with putting up some stickers.
