London’s Met Police are trialling Israeli-developed SandCat armoured vehicles, previously “battle-tested” in Gaza, for high-risk operations involving “serious public disorder”.

SandCats are manufactured by Israeli defence company Plasan, which for over three decades has been a key supplier of deadly equipment to the Israeli military.

According to Israel Defence, Plasan supplied up to 700 SandCats to the Israeli military following the start of Israel’s ongoing genocide on Gaza.

    Great example of what Cory Doctorow calls the Shitty Tech Adoption Curve:

    If you want to do something terrible with technology, you can’t just roll it out on people with money and social capital. They’ll complain and your idea will tank. Successful shitty tech rollouts start with people you can abuse with impunity (prisoners, kids, migrants, etc) and then work their way up the privilege gradient.
