Well, the question is; Are police keeping track of all the times during their shifts that no crime has been committed. despite the machine algorithm predicting a high probability in a given area and then entering that information into the system? The algorithms are programmed to display a simple yes, true or no, false, but not 'maybes'.
Another question could be; Are police themselves subjected to predictive programming as in - The likelihood that they will intentionally /racially profile, their propensity toward escalation and violence, making false arrests etc. in order make the machine algorithm seem accurate?
A higher degree of accountability for police must accompy predictive programming, in the form of increased liability and the removal of any type of qualified immunity.

There's no such thing as a nonviolent revolution. Revolution is bloody, revolution is hostile, revolution knows no compromise, revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, -I'm going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me. - No! you need a revolution. Whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, singing -We Shall Overcome-? You don't do that in a revolution. You don't do any singing, you're too busy swinging Malcom X

This piece had like 10 different people complaining about racialized and biased data, but only showed a single cop near the end saying their data was objective crime numbers, not racial.
This piece is biased af. Patrolling high crime areas helps deter crime. If cops just hung around affluent areas, these same interviewees would complain about having been ignored by racist cops who only serve rich white neighborhoods.
This propaganda is shameful and should be redone with a critical eye, not a bleeding heart.

Because when I think of -Moral Crime- I want a liberal California police officer deciding what is a crime and what isn't - then, predicting that that crime will be committed - then acting on it! (You know, speeding ticket -Failure To Pay On Time- send in 22-SWAT MILITARY OFFICERS to take you in. The Algorithms predicts that you will shoot back so you have to kill him to protect the lives of police officers - predictively! Doesn't matter that you don't own a gun, children are in the house, etc)

To be honest, it doesn't matter your city or nation but nothing beats old fashion community policing based on the Peelian principles. Algorithms do not replace boots on the ground or officers knowing the people on their streets. We do not need predicting policing. We need community based policing where police are part of the communities they serve and police. If a police officer can walk down the street and be greeted by name by people who walk pass is likely doing an awesome job.

Regardless of technology predictions or police biases, it is the individual's choice whether or not to commit a crime. Personally, I would feel safer with a constant police presence in my neighborhood. There are many great cops who care about safety and want to prevent crime. Technology could be used not only to predict crime in this instance, but to monitor and predict police corruption as well. It's all about how to best utilize your opportunities.

-- Who else is doing the running man to this while contemplating $uicide taking a selfie wit your smartphone in one hand while reading -1984- in the other! My biggest fear is it's going to show what they want it to show when they want it to show then it will go to all the highest bidder$! Plus, you know where it is this will just act like GPS for officers new to the area! ------------------ Just another B. S. expense just like the military.

It's impossible for me to make up my mind about PredPol after that report. There was barely any tangible info about the software. Just one of the things you could have told me: Does it correct for the amount of police dispatched to the area when calculating hotspots? If it doesn't, sounds like a rookie software engineering mistake that's easily fixable. If it does, why is PredPol still harmful?

So the police just rolled up on Tamir Rice unwarranted and shot him, really? Nothing at all to do with him pointing a weapon at others which caused people who felt threatened to call the police? In Cleveland, a city that-s homicide rate has literally risen by 50% in the last couple of years? There-s more bias in that woman-s statement than in the algorithm she claims to fear.

You're on the phone talking with your buddy about the game, -. I loved when the quarterback threw the BOMB. -. The word bomb hits a red falg, now you're algorithm ed up a notch, your bud replies, -. Yeah, they really nuked them-. The word nuke algorithms you both to a watch list and now your phone conversations are routinely monitored.
