One already had an outstanding warrant. They can haul her off as soon as they identify her.
...and so it doesn't take a computer program to know enough to place plainclothesmen in the projects, the "ghettoes" and the "barrios" and their fringes.
It also doesn't take a program to look at a spike in reports in an area, to know that it should be staked out around the days/times that the reports cluster.
Used to be SOP...at least for Joe Friday, et al, long before computers needed less than an icehouse & ton of punch cards, let alone just a lap to sit on.
Wasn't that the excuse for the beatings of Richard Long, and Kelly Thomas?
Fantastic point. Predictive policing would identify muslim men between the ages of 19 and 45 being the most likely to hijack aircraft and hence the TSA should screen them more thoroughly. I move we stop calling it profiling and call it predictive policing.
Sounds like this program is simply an electronic “pin map” with the addition of yet another govt. employee to run it.
“I’ve noticed that liberals tend to view crime like weather, something that just happens rather than as a series of decisions and actions by people.”
Excellent point. And they also believe that if they just spread the wealth, crime would go away.
They refuse to acknowledge that it just might be that there are bad people in this world.
I don’t know who first said that a “conservative is a liberal who just got mugged” but he/she sure was on point.
