They have already shown algorithmic discrimination in predicting recidivism for brown people, as they are nonsensically overrepresented in the statistical data of US prison populations.
Folks should sue in a class-action lawsuit, any legal firm worth their beautiful walnut desks would seriously be happy take on that constitutionally backed mission. =3

"Nonsensical?" They commit violent crimes, they get prosecuted for said violent crimes, and are serving prison sentences for those crimes. The algorithm picks up on this trend using the same logic that insurance actuaries use, which has also been largely neutered by critical theory.
What even is the argument here-- they're all innocent? Cops are ignoring piles of dead white people and their white murderers to only go patrol brown neighborhoods? We both know neither claim is true. The usual complaint is that cops avoid their neighborhoods and/or are lazy in investigating the crimes they report. The idea of overpolicing has always been a Marxist double-bind...nonsensical, I daresay.
