"The ‘Summary Offences (Move-on Orders) Amendment Bill’ has passed its first reading in parliament and is now open for submissions. This bill threatens anyone on the street, and anyone without a home, just for existing."

Image three description: Picture of the following text:

"The Move-on Orders gives police powers to require people who are not engaging in criminal activity with a warning that they must remain away from whatever area the warning is issued in for 24 hours, and if they do not comply they are threatened with a two thousand dollar fine or up to three months in prison."

Image four description: Picture of the following text:

"In other words, if you do not have a place to sleep, there is no place that will be safe to set up the basics to be more comfortable. If you’re needing to ask strangers for help with food or other things, you would be at risk. Whether or not you are ‘disruptive’ depends entirely on whether or not the people around you are willing to tolerate your presence.

There are already laws that criminalise anything actually harmful; this bill lowers the bar for putting obstacles in the way of our street whanau’s already difficult lives, and threatens to pull them into our justice system - a pit they will not be able to climb out of without support."

Great piece, and “I’m not a hater based on vibes. I’m a hater based on facts” is especially a banger.

And of course with most trends, there's a backlash to people calling out AI. One defender called the popular groundswell against AI slop "the new McCarthyism." Some of these posts about AI policing are imbued with a sense of outright betrayal.
How dare you draw attention to an unethical shortcut that we all use, even if some of us are better at using it than others.
How dare you let people see your writing is actually just two LLMs in a trench coat.
Again they're not mad that people use it: they're mad that people are catching on.

But while I took mental notes on what I was observing, I also felt a lack of representation for true, profound, and guttural loathing of AI. The people like me who have only the vaguest idea of what defines AI, but extremely specific examples of why it sucks.
I'm not a hater based on vibes. I'm a hater based on facts. And those facts deserve as much respect as the billionaires who continue to dump money into losing enterprises.

"No rules on what happens to your data
The Bill places no limits on how long police can store the photos, recordings and information they gather; or on who can access it, or what they can use it for.
Police already use AI and other algorithmic processing (like facial recognition) in their databases.⁶ This technology is known to be biased against minority groups.⁷ A database full of photos of Māori, fed into biased algorithms, means more Māori flagged, more Māori stopped, and more Māori entering the justice system – which is already stacked against Māori."

Image six description: Picture of the following text:

"The Bill breaches Te Tiriti o Waitangi
The Bill amplifies racist policing of Māori. It authorises the collection of images of tā moko and moko kauae, which are taonga protected under Te Tiriti. The Bill was drafted and introduced without consultation or partnership with Māori. It fails to protect tamariki and rangatahi Māori, and does not guarantee the Māori the same rights as Pākehā."

Image seven description: Picture of the following text:

"Make a submission
Submissions close on 22nd April
You don’t need to be an expert. Simply write a few sentences about why this Bill concerns you. We need the Justice Committee to hear loud and clear that this Bill should be thrown out.
We also want the police to actually delete the tens of thousands of photos that they illegally gathered. And rather than surveillance, we want the government to invest in things that actually keep communities safe: housing, healthcare, education, eradicating poverty, and giving effect to Te Tiriti.

You have until Wednesday 22nd April to submit against the Government's bill that will allow Police to photograph you and your kids for any reason and erode our political and civil liberties. You can make a submission and find a guide to submit here: papa.org.nz/2026/04/12/p...

Image one description: Picture of the following text:

"In 2021, it was revealed that police all over the country were stopping rangatahi Māori in the street and photographing them for no reason. Tens of thousands of photos were added to police databases, over 50% of them of Māori. The Supreme Court, IPCA and Privacy Commission all said this was illegal.
Now the government is changing the law to make these practices legal. Police will be able to photograph you and your kids, anytime and anywhere, and keep those photos forever.
Here’s what you need to know about the Policing Amendment Bill…"

Image two description: Picture of the following text:

"What the Bill does
The Policing Amendment Bill gives police the power to photograph and record anyone, both in public and on private property, so long as they think it “will or may support” any function of the Police.
That means they don't need to suspect you of anything. Any intelligence gathering can be justified simply “in anticipation of the possibility of future offending.”¹ This kind of discretion has already resulted in rangatahi Māori being targeted. This is a massive violation of rights to privacy and freedom from unreasonable search."

Image three description: Picture of the following text:

"Who the Bill targets
Before the IPCA and Privacy Commission stepped in, more than half of the photos that police had collected were of Māori.² This isn’t a coincidence. The police’s own research confirms deep institutional racism.³ Māori are six times as likely to come into contact with police for no reason than Pākehā, and are subject to warrantless searches at a rate four times higher.⁴"

Image four description: Picture of the following text:

"Tamariki and rangatahi are not protected
Police were illegally stopping tamariki and rangatahi in the street to photograph them and record their details.⁵ The Bill makes this practice legal, and includes zero protections for children and young people. It creates a pipeline for tamariki and rangatahi Māori into police databases and a lifetime of surveillance by the justice system."
