The Pasco County Sheriff's Office is permanently scuttling a predictive policing program that was the subject of critical media investigations and a pending civil rights lawsuit alleging the program amounted to frequent unconstitutional harassment of families.
In a settlement agreement ending that civil rights lawsuit, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office acknowledged that its "Intelligence Led Policing" (ILP) program exceeded officers' implied license to knock on doors and perform offender checks, interfering with the plaintiffs' First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
