Summary

This editorial cartoon highlights the Metropolitan Police's engagement with Palantir regarding the deployment of AI-driven surveillance and data analytics in criminal investigations. The content reflects growing public concern over the integration of military-grade 'spy-tech' within domestic civil law enforcement.
